from what i was told for my 03 SS was i could get up to 18's on it with out any issues after this you will have to try a test fit first.

but keep in mind if you have lowerd the car this will change some also.

even 20s should fit no problem without rubbing if you go with a 245/35or 30/r20 tire
as for the backspacing they will know this @ the rims shop when they order them...all they have to do is give the company your vehicle make and they'll tell you what backspacing is for it

I was thinking of a good deep lip 20" because I was thinking of dropping it but I had bad experiences with dropped cars. I have a 96 Caprice dropped 2 inches and every time I go over a speed bump or go off a ramp (ex. supermarket) I hit my exhaust tips on the sidewalk. So i think that I am going to go with 18" wheels.

the first 2 are dubs, and the 3rd one is foose

I am heading up to the Rim shop this weekend to see what they have that will loog good and ride good. I 22" on my caprice and IHATE the ride that big rims provide. So I think that I will do a 18"-19"in the front and a 20" in the back. Do the 06-07 Montes have the same specs as the 01-05's as far as wheels. I seen a pair of nice 20" wheels on a 07 SS.
