thx
205/70-14 vs. 285/30-20
fender lips needs to be rolled and need to widen the inner wheeltubs. maybe will cut stock out and get universal fenderwells from summit like this?

thanks man!
today's update. test fitted my 20x10 wheel and oh well it looks SWEET!!!!
brought body back on frame, put the stock rear end back on and tested the wheels again - wheel rubs bad on inside of the frame. will try a wheel adapter to make it fit but maybe will also notch the frame a little. but will test with a adapter first.

unfortunately front wheels won't clear C5 calipers/brakes without spacers. but I'll get some 20mm adapters/spacers on rear and will try them on front as well.
fronts are 20x8.5 with 5.25 BS and rears are 20x10 with 5.5 BS
oh and here some pics of my sweet nice doors

thanks man!
I test fitted H&R 20mm adapters/spacers on each side today. for first on fronts - now the front wheels clear the C5 calipers
so I tried the 20mm spacer on the rear and it looked like this:
I think it looks okay and clears the frame now - but I think I want 30mm spacers now just added some washers to simulate a 30mm spacer:
Please note there's no weight/interior/doors/engine in the car so thats why the suspension is pretty high right now LOL
oh and here's another cool shot (with 20mm spacers):

I removed the rear springs yesterday and set the car's height to what I want the ride height later. I wanted to see if it'll fit with the trimmed fenders lips and the 30mm spacer. Looks like I just need to roll the lips now and I'll be set.

thanks man!
the project was on hold for a little while because I've been busy with wedding organisation and stuff. my fiance and me are getting married next week (May 25th) so that's why no updates on the monte for a while. just tried to make the Monte ready for the wedding but oh well.. lot of other stuff came in and plus a long dang cold winter.
but as we speak there are some more new parts on the way to continue work on the car. already got new rear wheels tubs laying and a cammed LS3 6.2 out of a 2011 camaro
