Nice times. But if you go with bigger wheels up front you will effectively slow down your gear ration since it's FWD. The smaller the diameter of your active axle wheels (in this case the fronts), the higher the effective gearing becomes. Don't know off-hand what the gear ratio is for the Alero but you will notice a significant difference by just changing the wheel size (all else remaining equal, including wheel/tire weight). You should also pay close attention to the weight of the new wheels & tires relative to what came stock on the car and against what's on there now. Lighter wheel/tire combos allow for less spinning resistance as it takes more power to rotate a heavier combo.

Best advice if you're looking for best ET is to go with smaller & lighter wheel/tire combos.

Best advice if you're just going for looks = do what you think looks best on your car.
