Default Will 15's fit on my 2000 SS?

I did a little searching, but didn't see any people putting 15's on their Montes. I just ran into problems putting 15's on my buddies 2001 Trans Am cuz the brakes are too big. Is this a problem with the Monte, or will they fit with no problem?

I just wanna get 15's for my track tires. Mucho Cheaper for burning off...

Mine came stock with 16" wheels on it i belive the 06-07 had 17"wheels on them stock

Ad i have 18" wheels on mine now with out any issues at all. I was told you can get up to like 20" wheels under it with no rub but i never tried it.
I can say i have one place that dose rub. But it is on a road where there is a damed pot hole that you cant miss no mater of what. SO if you take it easy then your good to go.

Do you know if your rotors are the same diameter as what the 2000+ cars have?

as long as th eback spacing and the rim gap for the brakes are good it will work.

you might have to go with a 16" wheel and then go with a smaller tire on it kind of liek they do goign the other way. to get your desierd effects on it.

either way it can be done jus thave to figure out what you can find for the wheel tire combo for the car that is actually made. like a smaller side wall for 15" tires or 16" rims etc..

Haha, your still really confusing me. My only question is: Will 15" wheels clear the brakes on a 2000+ Monte. I'm all too aware of offset, bolt patterns and all that stuff. I was just wondering if anyone knew if they would clear the brakes, since these cars never came with 15's stock.

Nothing is about desired effects, its just that tires are a lot cheaper in 15" than they are in 16",17", etc. These would just be for the track...

honestly the best thing to do is grab a 15 off of something and just stick it on your car and see if it clears. the lugs dont have to necessarly line up just gotta be able to slide the wheel back and see what'll happen

Yea I knew the 5th gens came with 15's, i just didn't know if they would go onto a 6th gen. Looks like I'll just get a 15 and try it out. Thanks for the help guys.
