20 is about the biggest you can get without lifting it.

22's suck on a Monte. Yeah, all Big Rims look fine. But, that's all they do is look good. Once you and a date get in the car ... the Rear Tires are rubbing and you can't parallel park because you can't steer lock-to-lock.
Another thing, ... 22's look wicked-good on a Big SUV. So, while you and your date are enjoying the Movie ... the riff-raff is outside doing their best NASCAR Tire Changing Routine on your Monte ... but they don't put-on other wheels for you ... they just leave the car up on blocks. Economically, your better-off buying the Blocks First! Sure, they don't roll as good as a wheel and they are very hard to shine ... but, the Gas Mileage is you get is incredible!

not true 20's are the biggest you can get on with a decent size tire you can get 22's on without lifting it.I think the rims look nice.

The style is alright, but the size is too big for my taste. You car though, so do what you like.

i would stick with 20's on a monte just for driveablity, 22's will fit, but eventually you might get mad @ them with rubbing or not being able to turn your steering wheel all the way

i have 22's on my magnum with no rubbing though, and my car is lowered 2" so they tuck a bit, but i still have no rubbing, so its possible you could find the right offset for you car that will fit perfectly with no rubbing

but on the monte i would be safe and go with 20's

as for those rims, the only thing i'd say is that those rivet looking things are very hard to keep clean sometimes, i'm a big fan of the smooth clean looking wheel, but those should look good too
