22s can and do look great. i dont mind big rims but like everyone said. if you need a lift thats just not good. the way i look at it. lets face it a LS monte is slow. if i want "preformance" ill ride my motorcycle.

I bet you have a good launch without wheelspin.
i have 22's on my ss and i'll put money on it that mine is just as fast as a similar car with the same ci engine size. anyway most people with big rims don't care about performance.

No kidding, lol. Big rims does not equal performance due to the rims heavier weight. Therefore, a Monte SS with a 3800 on stock rims will ALWAYS be faster then a Monte SS with a 3800 on 22's no question. Rotating mass is the thing that you want to get rid of the most on cars to give them better performance.

I see this is a old post but I need some help if anyone has done any research. I had 22's on my 01 SS last year and now I have a 06 and I want 24's. Does anyone know how high do I have to lift and what tire size should I use?
