I THINK, that a 9.5 rim would probably rub, but i'm not really sure. Our stock rims are 6.5 inches wide, 3 inches seems like a pretty big size increase to me.

And FYI, your Monte has the FE2 suspension. I read on some review that ALL LS/ LT Monte's came standard with the FE2 suspension. I think the FE1 was only offered as standard equipment on the LS/ LT Impala's...at least this is according to the 06/07 Monte/ Impala review I read.
