I think the rims would look great on an alero if they fit and if they do then im going to try to follow the bid and win it :)

It also says somthing about new lug nuts required please explain if your know.

[alerored04]

it says 4 bolt, so my guess is no.

[kwhauck]

yeah those are a 4 lug so that is a big no...........

[Menace]

:(

edit: How many lugs does an alero rim need?

[mixmastercase]

an alero rim needs 5 "lugs"

[ptrudel]

ya need a 5X115 lug, with 38-42 offset(i think, someone wanna say yay or nay on that?)

[FantomForceCustoms02]

You could always get adaptors from 4 bolt to 5 bolt. It will throw off the offset though and push the wheel out about an inch.

Never said is was a good idea, just that it could be done. I know one guy with adaptors and they haven't snapped yet. But he only drives that car about 3 times a week and not very far. So he doesn't put too much stress on them.

for the most part yay........although you can also use rims with the 5x114.3 lug......and if you do a lot of test fitting with your suspension, tire size and wheel fit you can squeeze on more sizes........like my wheels.....17x8 with a 29.5 offset (5x114.3 lug) and 255/40/17 tires......hmmmm beefy!!!

[ptrudel]

5x112 35 mm offset

wont fit

wow...change the center cap and those would be rockin on an alero...maybe even mine lol

[kwhauck]

exact rims on my alero, same seller too!

[allshownogo02]

As long as we are on the subject of rims, does anyone have 20's on their Alero? If so, how does it look? Or are 18's as big as you can go without making any mods to the area around the tire?

I'm thinking about the American Racing Casino Chrome rims, I'd like to go with 20's, but am not sure if they'd fit or how they would look on an Alero?

The other specs on the American Racing Casino Chrome rims:
size: 20x7.5
offset: +42
bolt: 5-115
backside: 5 7/8

Any thoughts?

IMHO, 20's don't have enough rubber...unless you're like Robbie(i think its him) which is kitted and bagged/hydros, then it looks good

i had the AR 18" Royales, and 18's were plenty big

some one on this site has 20's on the alero; I believe the highest you can go "naturally" is 19" though.....

[allshownogo02]

See the reason i asked about these particular 20's is because these are 7.5, and in other posts I saw people saying that 20's are 8.5 or 9 which is too big.

That is correct, I know some guys have 20's but I wouldn't go bigger than 18's, 17's if you have very bumpy roads in your area

Widest track I think is 7.5, and gotta stay with a 225 tread, I was thinking about going with a 235 wide tire, but it throws off the speedo a lot :wacko:

[allshownogo02]

Yea, I think I am going to go with that same rim in an 18 instead, although the 18 comes in 8 and not 7.5...which I don't understand, because the 20 is 7.5. From what I am getting from other posts is that 18x8 will fit? Offset is 40 and backside is 6, sound like it will work?

18x8 with a 40 offset will work great..... :thumb:
