Like Chris (scc24540), I'm not a fan of huge rims on cars either. On SUV's and trucks is different. I prefer rims that look proportional to the car.

Personally, I like to stick to 18" or less. But 20" would be an absolute maximum without looking freakishly out of proportion, in my opinion.

But about your rims, I like the style. I wouldn't go any bigger though. The stance looks good the way it is. I was going to say the same thing Matt (mrl390) brought up. I don't think you'd be able to lower the car without running into issues. I would think that you probably already have rubbing issues when you hit large bumps now.

Which brings upanother reason I don't like large rims on cars. Because there's such a thin layer of rubber on the rim, they're highly susceptible to getting bent by a pothole. I've seen so many $1000+ rims get destroyed by a pothole, it's not funny.

I like the rims on your car, but I wouldn't lower it if I were you.

 

personally.. I love 20s!! The Monte Carlo is a bigger car, and hence needs bigger rims. I think they fit well and as long as you don't get carried away with big wide tires, you shouldn't have any major problems with scrubbing..

 

DEF have to have the 20"!!

I do agree some 18" are mean....only if you lookin to run fast...

I Love 20' on a car like the monte....I agree with cali!!

And they are really proportional compared to the car.......

Heres a pic of mine.....

I love my monte....

I thought about going with 20's, the wheels I like the best only came in 20 and 22 sizes. I decided I wanted to try and stay somewhat on the performance/ride side as opposed to looks seems how this is only my first car. I'll save the bigger wheels for any luxury cars I might someday own. As for lowering I don't know, I've always thought that lowering a car when the wheels are over a certain size makes them look off center in the wheel well.

Which ever way you go there are plenty of us on here that'd like to see some more pictures.
