Hello everyone.

I was looking into getting some new rims eventually for my 2000 Monte Carlo SS. I know they have to have a certain bolt pattern. And if you go to big on the rims, you have to get new tires too. What are the specs and limits to buying new rims?

Thanks,
Tyler

 

If you want a good ride still, look at 18s

5x115 is our bolt pattern.

TireRack.com has a lot of great information.

 

Thanks Chibi!

With the 18" rims, do I have to buy new tires as well?

 

Of course you do! haha

 

Your monte with stock rims has 16's. You don't need new tires but i would recommend it. it's not a very smooth ride on just rims =p

 

If you get lucky a 114.3 pattern might fit. Some will fit some wont. So try before you buy if possible. 18s look good.. I have them.. But I am in the market for 20s at the moment..

 

How much do tires to fit an 18" rim cost? I already found some 18s I like on sale for under $100!!

 

can you do a little searching on your own, go to tirerack.com and put in your car year etc. and go from there! it's pretty easy to do!

and $100 does not seem to bad per tire and if you are looking for both wheels and tires, you should expect to pay about a grand total for the whole set-up.

 

Id say around $130 to $180 PER tire for a good brand.

 

Monte Carlo 3831: I have done some searching on my own. I just don't know what I'm looking at. If everyone should just figure everything out on their own, there's no point to this website even exisiting. I'm sure you needed some help when you first started looking around to upgrade your car.
