I just found these too. They are 18's and are off of a Cadillac CTS, which from what I've found, has the same bolt pattern as my Monte. I just worry about them rubbing. Any thoughts?

Typically the offsets are different on a RWD drive-train and eventhough the bolt pattern is the same, the tire might not fit correctly.

I usually avoid RWD rims.

Good to know. I thought the CTS was front wheel drive. Lol.

That's why I like to bounce things off you guys.

the dts is fwd. just because its rwd doesnt mean it wont fit. good example is the mustang wheels. just requires some measuring to be sure.

I agree it isn't a definite won't fit, but it's pretty typical so it's just easy to say keep looking

Those are my parents 16s for winter tires.

Not a bad rim.
