Default Drop it??

I have an 86 and I am not sure if i should drop it lower or not.... I have low profile tires on it which makes the body look like it sits up higher and I cant go any bigger on the tire size do to rubbing issues..... the tire size on it now is 245/45/16

if you were to drop it, i think you should get some bigger rims, but then again, it depends on how much space is in the wheel well, get those pics up

I say get bigger rims. That's a pretty big car to be sitting on some 16, lowered. Some 20" IROCS would look sick!!!

What's your tire/rim budget $'s
Going with bigger Rims/Tires can be Expensive
Do you have a Mod Priority List on what you want to do first ?
How's your present supension ? Brakes ? Engine ? Trans ?
Which is most important 2 U & your Monte ?
Let us know `ok...
First things first ? Good Luck on getting it the way U want `it 2 be.

P*I*M*P

Great pic's on your My Space : )
Thanks 4 shar'in
