Has anyone found out if smaller rims fit the 06-07 montes? On tire rack they'll only sell 16's and up , I called and they said it would interfere with brake components, etc?

I really want to get some 15's to help lower my gear ratio, but if that's all that fits, then I guess i'm stuck with 16's.

It's just it's a lot harder to find stocker 16's that will fit on these cars in a junkyard.. why pay tire rack 50$ when you can find em at most junkyards for like 20$ each....

Oh, and anyone looked at the performance tires? CRAP they're ridiculously priced!

 

You should have the 12" brake rotors on the front, and 15"s wont fit with those rotors. Go to a shorter tire. Tire rack lists all the sizes offered for a particular tire. See what else will fit.
Why do you want to change your gear ratio? Smaller tires will probably cost you in mpg's.Higher rpm's.

The 17's that are on the car already have ridiculously low profile tires... not much room to go down.. but if I got 16's I could get a better gear ratio.

If you saw my thread in street & strip u'd understand... I'm thinking a smaller wheel/tire diameter will lower the gear ratio.... meaning the car should accelerate quicker... and improve the stock time of 15.7 secs

 

Yeah, my tires I'm getting are between 180 -200 per tire. Didn't think of that when I bought it, but on the bright side you don't have to change them that often.
