I recall seeing a 2000-2005 Impala on an Impala forum that had a set of 06+ SS rims, I'll have to search and see if I can find it. So I would say yes, may need different size tires or do a little modification to a strut plate or two but they should fit...

Be back when/if I find what I'm looking for...

**edit** Found it!

I would say if they fit an 03 Impala they should fit an 02 Monte.

They should fit fine, but those in the picture are not the Monte/Impala SS wheels. Those look like they could be from a Cobalt or HHR SS perhaps.

Good eye! I think he's right they don't look as "beefy" as the Monte/Impala wheels... and if they are HHR or Cobalt they probably won't fit the Monte. Be sure to do your homework on them before you buy. GL keep us informed.

i agree the spokes dont look fat enough, but if your sure that theyre of a mcss or impss then they should work.

If they are STOCK rims and tires they won't really fit... you need to drop the sidewall size so they don't hit your strut plates.

I wanna say stock they are 50, you would need 45
