With 2" spindles and control arms you can lay it in front, with the wheel wells removed possibly have to tub the firewall a bit. The rear must be notched and wheelwells raised up. But your still left with the trailing arms to deal with. Might lay out but it will push the rearend forward.

hm okay thx! next week I'll lift body off my frame and then see what would work good.
anybody got some pics of notched g-body frames?
I also wanna know what offset I need for these kind of rims (20") for my monte carlo:
because I think this Monte over here got wrong offsets:

The othe issue you're going to run into with a G-body is the rear frame. The rails are really wide, you'll end up having to narrow the rails along with a notch to get it down on big wheels. YOu're kind of stuck in the back, a 20x8 with the right backspacing wont tuck, and if you get enough to tuck, you'll need to narrow the rails.
The front is easy though..lol. Not much different than laying an S-10, since they share control arms, spindles, brakes, springs. My malibu is done on smaller wheels and tires, so I'm not 100% sure on the firewall, but you might be able to get away without tubbing it...there's quite a bit of room under there...

yeah thats why I wanna know what offset I need for my 20" rims.. I want that kinda classic look for rims, something like that "torq thrust" design here:
...something like a "smooth 5-spoke"
any suggestions?
