EDIT: Just realized these aren't the Sparco Wheels... at least they're 17's!

Those are nicer looking wheels than the Talladegas, and with deeper rubber it may soften the ride a bit too.

I just put on my winter mode wheels and tires on today (well, my hubby put them on for me anyway).

17" stock B6 Monte Carlo wheels fit just fine!

not all but some do according to design and most important offset. I run 17'' as my race wheels with R-comps and they barely clear it if u see my build thread you will see a pic of the car on them.

Can anyone confirm fitment?

Thinking of going with a beefier tire to keep it closer to spec

yes they will fit, but you may have to be careful with the balancing weights

I run 17s year round. I went with wheels that fit without spacers. Both are really close to the front calipers. The winter set is close enough that I had to get a larger number of thinner weights when I got them balanced in the fall.
