Default Rims

I have a white 06 Monte carlo LT. I'm trying to figure out whether to go with 18" or 20"....what do you guys think is best. Here's a pic of the car amd the rims. Help me figure this one out.

20 inches or better.... honestly i dont like those wheels though, they'd probably look a lot better when theyre on your car though

Be careful with anything 20's or up they will rub on the back fender, so you would have to get your fenders rolled or get stiffer springs.
But 20's look awesome on Montes

I do like those wheels, wouldn't put them on my car as they are probably pretty heavy, and I'm going for a bit of a toned down look. Personally I'm going to go 18s when I get mine, but my wheels aren't going to be as fancy. I'd say 20" with those would look pretty nice.

I think those rims are awesome, and would look great on your car. I think (not sure though) that 18's would fit with no problems, and no modifications needed, but for 20's or above you might need to lift it. Take a look at this thread, this guy has 24's on his car, and I think those look pretty bitchin', too. He did have to lift the car, though.

I can tell ya i have 18's on mine and tey are actually pretty tight in the wheel wells in turns.
But the guy wher ei got mine said they could go past 20's up to like 24's

Thing is you wont have a decent ride becuse you will nto have any tire there to asorbe the shock.

If you look in my thread monte has new shoes in the rims and tires area you can see wha tthey look like on a white car and they are like i said 18's I love them so far make the car really stand out a lot
