Hi T. Brown from the MidWest &

Welcome to the Monte Carlo Forum.

What year/model is your Monte Carlo ?

We would love to see pictures of `it : )

Below is one of our links on Dubs, that you may find

RE: lift issue for 22s

It all depends on how much tire u want if u wanna ride rubberbands or tires with some meat on them.The smallest size you put on without have to lift it is a 245/30/22. But I thought that tire was still kinda small so I went with a 255 I had to lift my car 2 inches to make them fit.

RE: lift issue for 22s

22's are nice but if your a big rim guy like me you always wanna go bigger I plan on putting 24's on my car next year. Here's some pics of a guy I know in another car club with 24's he's going 26's next year.

Go for 20s and make it look right! Lifting is for trucks! Not trying to offend you, just my honest opinion.

RE: lift issue for 22s

I had to get my strut plates bent for 22's......245 30 22. (02' monte)Just the rear. Warning!!! Pot holes!! You cant dodge them all. Big Rims Hott for stunting, and they look good but they a pain too with skinnie.

you shouldn't of bent the plate your always going to have a ruff ride even when you put the stocks back on.You should of made the struts longer that's all I did and I have a smooth ride like stock I drive on the expressway everyday back forth to work.Your eventually going to have to replace your struts my sister bought a grand prix that had 22's on it they bent the plate up to get them on and after awhile it took it's toll on the suspension and costed 2,000 to get it fixed.
