Max Rim Size
So I was wondering since I might be getting some new rims in the near future...what is the maximum suggested limit for the alero? And does that number differ if my alero is lowered?

What I usually do is I'll plus size 1 inch larger than the largest stock size.
In this case the largest stock size is 16 so I when with 17's
People have 18, 19's and 20's on an Alero

18s are a nice size and 19s can work. Anything larger requires mods due to the spring mount getting in the way...
