Default Tire Size
I have stock Monte Carlo SS rims on my 2003 Monte.
Is it possible to go from a 225/60R16 to a 235/60R16 or even 245/60R16 without any issues?

You have to downsize the sidewall to go wider.

Try to plug in sizes on tire size calculators to see what size won't change your speedometer

245/50R16
For every 20mm up in tread width (225 to 245),
you go down 10% in sidewall (60 to 50)

Thanks Chibi!
Just placed my order and stuck with factory sizes.
Im restoring a set of Grand Prix rims for spring but couldn't wait until then for new tires.
