Default guess wheel size? pic inside of 1979 monte + boss 338 wheels

came across the attached pictures some time ago and really like the look. I was searching for 78/79 monte with boss 338 rims. I remember I found the pics on CL the car was for sale there. I know the pics are very blurry...
however I'm not sure who's car it is and I'm trying to determine the rim / wheel size. it looks like 20x8.5 front and 20x10 on rear? any thoughts or suggestions? thx in advance.




I also just googled around and found this:

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/312977...et-monte-carlo

"American Racing Thrust M, 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 front"

I photoshoped one of his pics - I lowered the car:



so now I really think the wheels in pic 1 & 2 are 20".

what you guys think?

Hi Kev, I'm not sure of the size, but those Monte's look awesome & I love the style of those Rims & that generation of the awesome Monte Carlo 4-Sure...

I also love your `sig 4-Real-Sure

Thanks 4 sharing & maybe one of our Wheel experts can make a post & give their opinion....
