Tire and rim size +1

[negolien]

well that's in your opinion/shrug I liked the other one from that site.

if you went with the black it would be a bit better still not great, but I would never even touch the chrome ones...in the end it is your car so get what you like, but be sure it will look good on your car because what looks good on its own might not look so great once it has the car sitting on it

[negolien]

Thanks I will keep looking could you explain what you dislike about chrome? Just not wanting to spend 1K on rims that are plain jane and don't look better than the stock one.

[negolien]

Thanks for the web links got a lot more choices now. These aren't bad for my taste.
I hate the extra lug nut holes though.

I have a gold one as well and currently have the flat spoke chrome gls wheels and the chrome makes the car appear too light in color...I like chrome on some things but don't think it goes with the gold.

Well since my wheels sit about flush with the fender... that combination will make you poke over 2.5 inches out, which, apart from looking silly, your tires will definitely collide with the fender and bumper up front when you turn the wheel left or right.

If anyone needs any other comparisons let me know.

the biggest and widest you can go on an alero IF you have a drop is what I have... 255/30zr19 on a 19 x 8,5 34mm offset... it does not rub or scrape... and I have about 3 in drop from my coilovers...

I can vouch the rub of bigger... i had a set of 20's with 245/40/20 tires... not 100% on the offset but i had to use a 1" spacer on the rear to clear the lower spring perch...however, they rubber on the rear fender when i went over bumps til i rolled the fender... for some reason the front only rubber by about 1/4" but only when the tires were warm... they never rubbed the fender when i turned though... i was also lowered 1.2" on eibach's...

yeah i had 28mm spacers on the front with my 7.5" +42 wheels and they rubbed when turning. your combination makes it similar to me having 21mm spacers which would likely clear fine.

Thanks ion, I find that my current rims sit inside the fender quite a bit now and would like to get some new ones to make it a bit more flush.

[03glgold]

if you like the rims and don't already have them you could do some spacers

Anyone know what style ASA rims these are?

Good luck finding a set. I think they might be discontinued. Tried finding a site selling them. Came up short. .. only things I saw sellomg was bimmer forums, acura forums, saab forun etc...

Probably "Asa AR9 with spoke Inserts Machined w/Anthracite Accent & Carbon Fiber" like the image description says on the sidebar even though the site is down

[negolien]

One more question, my rims are 17x7 with 42mm offset. Would 235/45/17 tires work? I found a new set of Hercules Raptis tires for around $90 each.

[[ion] C2]

yeah 235/45 makes them about the same overall diameter as 225/50, the width/offset is fine too
