1. why those? (to each his own, why not a more sporty wheel?)
2. why only 15's?
3. yes the bolt pattern is right, they will bolt up.
4. i think you can get away with a 215/60.
5. why not a wider wheel? stock they should come 225/xxR15 or 16.

You will need hub centering rings as the wheel centerbore (74.1mm) is much larger than the Alero hub diameter (70.3mm).
Otherwise, they will fit fine with a 215/60R15 tire.

215/60 is what I have on my stock Grand Am wheels. There should be no reason that it will give you any issues. My question is why 15s? Are you trying to keep your current rubber?
16, 17 and 18 inch wheels look so much better on this car than 15s.

15s are cool but you car needs to be "LOW" and factory rubber thickness will just look stupid

check out the southwest Ontario thread ... http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showt...013#post629013
last summer we have I think 6 meets ranging from Barrie to Hamilton and even one down in London... pretty fun times, just a great reason to cruise and meet others with the same passion for these cars...
as for the rims, yes the 20's fit, I had to get spacers for the rears as they were originally on a buick century.
quick kijiji search found these:
http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehic...AdIdZ424319208
make sure to ask about offset and center bore size... ours is 70.3, if they are larger you need hubcentric rings, smaller and they will not fit.

There's misty on 20s!
Let me just say that paint color with the cowl hood is a very nice match.
Still wish I had that hood.

They would be identical to mine posted above just smaller
Not sure on the tire size given it is only a 7.5" wide rim.
As i mentioxned earlier as well make sure the centre bore is big enough to fit our hubs.
