They look too small for the size wells, Or maybe I'm too use to seeing lowered trucks with filled wells..... ;)

Looks good! One of the best things to come from the second generation s-10, was the wheels. Nice looking Monte:)

I agree, But I'm pretty sure everything would look a little better lowered:)

Nice car.
I'd lower the front and definitely get taller tires.

/smack... do NOT lower that car or I will come slap you silly.. you're close enough that it would not be an issue to do either ;)

those wheels look great on there...It could stand to come down a little, those SS's always sat kinda high...

Haha honestly I liked the stance of it, I like the little gap inbetween the tires and fender, my dad we should lower it to and I think it looks fine but I
Probably just gonna get a kit and do it, and if I don't like it then take it off and sell the kit!

I think some off the look is due to the picture being dark. The tires disappear?
Looks great!

I love those ZQ8 wheels on just about anything. I agree with most everybody else that it needs more low...just not too much. I think a kit is a good idea -- better than cutting the coils on such a collectible car. What kind of kit do you have your eye on?

(And please don't smack me, Liz);)

The Monte SS springs aren't really anything special; they can be pretty easily be found. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to cut them if I were you..

Id SLAM it, BAG it and DROP it. Just to see if you'd live up to that promise. Or at least send a 'chopped photo. :D:exit:

What size tires are on them? Maybe a little taller tire to fill the wells. Regardless I've loved those wheels since day one. I wanted to put them on my square body s-10 back in the day. :metal:
