Hello
Can't make up my mind. 1985 Monte SS. Deep red with grey interior. Has the stock 15" wheels on it and in excellent condition. Should I keep em or go with a set of chrome crager SS. Like them both and can't make up my mind.

Go bigger than stock. Year one has the 17" N90 Monte wheels which would look sweet!!! I just finally switched from the factory 14" rallyes to 17" American Racing pieces. The right wheels will make or break the look.

NICE CAR!!!! I have the stock 15 x 7 wide.. They look good but just want to make it look the best possible. Any issues when you went to 17" s ? My suspension is all new so dont want to mess with that..

Thanks, not yet as I just put the wheels on a couple days ago. I did a ton of research to ensure no issues. I might add a very thin spacer in rear for peace of mind, but the N90 wheels are 4.25" BS which is perfect. Year One claims to have test fit them on a Monte with 245/45/17 tires and no clearance issues.

Thanks for the help. This decision is tough for me. I like the idea of keeping things original but want the best look too

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I have all new suspension as well.
Agreed, I like the stock look, but tweaked just a bit....almost as if it could've came from the factory that way.
