My 88 Monte SS with some new shoes, There zq8's 16" by 7 or 8 I cant remember. What you guys think?

Looks good

Restrorob · 01-14-2012, 11:50 AM

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

Kim57 · 01-14-2012, 12:02 PM

Looks nice, I've always liked that era of Monte Carlo.

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

Sicklajoie · 01-14-2012, 10:42 PM

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

Chevy350V8 · 01-14-2012, 11:32 PM

Yea thanks guys, lowering front and back 2"

/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

cable666guy · 01-15-2012, 02:24 AM

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!

jb1016 · 01-15-2012, 08:15 PM

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)

Chevy350V8 · 02-14-2012, 12:08 PM

Planning on this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/78-88-Regal-...item3f12ecb140

Jonboy · 02-14-2012, 06:01 PM

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..

jb1016 · 02-14-2012, 09:00 PM

Just saw in Hot Rod Mag that Year One is making the N90 wheel in 17x8 now...link

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.

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.

Looks good
