Few questions about my 2nd gen Monte

[Shiro666]

Hey Pro Touring wheel/tire experts,

I picked up this '76 Monte Carlo as a Slo Touring cruiser. It needs a wheel/tire update. I am having trouble finding information about these cars. I am the only one in the world with one of these not trying to fit 26's. Anyone have any idea what the bolt pattern and offset is? How wide can I go?

Also, I would love to hear some opinions on reasonably priced wheels. The biggest I want to go is 17. I want a traditionaly styled wheel with a little......zaz.

I searched and found no answer to my quandry.

Thanks for looking!

Picture this with a 2" drop;

Bolt Pattern should be 5 x 4 3/4" for Chevy...

Thanks for the input.

I will try the Monte Carlo Club and will give Justin a call.

Love to hear some suggestions!

Use your wheels/tires as a guide to see how much you can fit under there. But I would do then drop first, the order up the rollers. Measure 500 times, buy wheels/tires once.

Can't go wrong with a set of torq-thrusts or 5 spoke rally wheels in 17"

When I got my CCW's...I spent about a whole day measuring...then researching...then measuring some more. If you want to get the best fit you should get a Percy's Wheel Rite.
