I wanna say 225 30 but not sure. Would like to go bigger in the back someday. Don't see how u could fit 20x10s in the rear with out a lot of modification. Has it been done? My 20x8.5 are super tight in the wheel well. About a 1.25" from the frame and maybe .74" to the sheetmetal.

Sweeet! Love the rear ends on that body style...has to be the best monte carlo body made IMO...welcome!

Thats gotta be the cleanest 80 monte that I have ever seen.I'm not a big fan of the 78-80 monte's but yours has definitely made me look at these a little closer.That interior is definitely pretty sick.

Yeah the '80 model is my favorite Monte. But I'm also a goofy b*st*rd.

yeah has been done. but only possible with some cutting and welding sheetmetal. you have to notch the frame a little and minitub the wheel wheels. i'll get the 20x8.5 and 20x10 rims asap and will keep you posted in my build thread.

here i found a 79 with same wheels but 20x10 in the rear (sorry very blurry pics i know).

looks like its lowered a few inches (not like yours with the hydraulics). I'll try with OPGI lowering springs 3" on front and 2" in the rear.
