Me and my Monte, 1978!

No that's way too much. 17x9 will need 4.5" of bs in the rear. You could prob get away with 5" of bs on a 9" rim, but no more than that.

okay, thanks for letting me know before i wasted a thousand bucks. lol. btw, is there a template or guide you use when figuring out what will fit? i dont mind asking you everytime i have a question, but if there is an easy way for me to figure it out on my own, i wouldnt mind knowing.

No not really. I've had a few sets of wheels on mine, so I used them as guide to what would fit. There are some wheel/tire calcuators out there too that can be used. I pretty much have the biggest wheel/tire package that can fit and not look too big. Feel free to ask away though.
