That's why I posted the ad. I asked the seller about his wheel and tire sizes and figured I'd post it here for him taking the time to answer my questions. (He only knew the tire size)

I agree with the nice wheels.  I'm not on Facebook, so I'm just going on the pictures posted here.  It's definitely been tubbed at least mini tubbed if nothing else.  I love it when you see a fully tubbed vehicle from the rear, especially when it looks like a steam roller  !!!

Not able to mini tubb a Monte. Inner fender is flush with the frame, you could notch the frame then min tubb it.

What is the tire size?

275/60/15. It looked like a 295/50/15 to me but he sent me a picture of the tire.

[502ci]

Yeah, that tire looks like a monster for just a 275/60/15

At the very least that has to be a 10" wide wheel to stretch the sidewall making it look fatter than it is.

Too bad he doesn't know the back spacing as now I am curious, lol.

I just relooked at the profile of the fender again...that wheel tire combo is recessed in pretty well (looks good) so something has been modified.

If the builder went to all that work under the hood, he may have gone to a Blue Oval 9" rear end.... 

Just a thought.

As one of the few fans of hood scoops, I'm gonna say NO ! The interior is a bit over the top for me too

 

 

[Dtret]

I’m not a fan of the scoop either but at least it’s warranted. 

[Michael Boyte]

Yeah..no.. that scoop would have to go !  Still interesting car though 

[Marks71]

The first thing that came to mind upon seeing the scoop is the trash receptacle at the exit of the McDonalds drive thru. Would much rather see the bug catcher. Not too crazy about the interior either. Wheels look great though.

The statement is very,very true on this Monte Carlo. I can only think that they had a model car and built it this way, now it's reality? I'd also like the know that backspace of the rear rims.I like the stance and big/ small tire combo. I can remember a set of 15x 10's with a 2 1/2" backspace. Had them take the center out and move it back into the wheel. It looked cool,but that was on a '78 Camaro.

NOTHING that looks like THAT is warranted 🤣

[DragCat]

Since the Monte is pictured in front of Stellar Motors I went to the website, it's not listed there. 

I'm not familiar with the LTZ model of the Monte either. 🤣

As said, its interesting, but if they don't know the BS (backspacing) doubt there is much info avail on the rest of it

Yeah, this thing is beyond ugly. I’m talkin’ ugly-feet-appearing-in-pictures-here ugly. To that end, I’ve created three alternate scoops that are much more visually appealing. I’d like the FGMCC membership to vote for their favorite…

[Rob Peters]

For me it would be the last one.

I'll take option D, NO HOOD ! 🤣

[Marks71]

I’m going with #3

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but ugly goes clear to the bone!

LTZ was an Impala model in the late '90's - early 2000's, wasn't it ??
