you have to look at more than just the bolt pattern to see if they will fit!
Those wheels would stick out about 3" past the fender and possibly catch on the fender while turning a corner if there was a bump.

look at www.americanmuscle.com, rims are 100$ a piece, 17" rims wont look goofy anyways, steel truck rims will look goofy. and stay away from crome. you want a 34mm+ off set and you cant go larger than 9" wide, good luck

Yeah, those are definitly for RWD - you gotta have that high offset for FWD and you'll likely find that they are not available. I would have like to have gone with wheels like those in black, but had to settle for these

Personally, I don't think they will look good on your Monte at all...As other have mentioned, they look like truck wheels to me.

I honestly think your stock wheels look nice on your Monte.

pass on those friend. you dont have to break the bank to get what u like.

going off the colors of your car i would look for a chrome and black rim with red accents. you can always add gold to it after to accent your pace car stripes

i think these would look kick *** on yours
