17 is a good size for the Alero, not big enough to be gaudy(unless it's all chrome), but not small enough to have a ton of rubber showing.

I got some custom coilovers made by selexsuspension... but I wanted to give you some details about how to get the flush look like wheel offset and wideness... at least my setup... and 19's aren't too big.. in my opinion, i was even thinking about 20's... but it's all about personnal taste....

It is not about width along, but width and offset combined. Theoretically you could run a 17x4 skinny and be flush if you could find the right offset.
I run 17x8 with a 32 offset, compared to an 8.5 width with a 34 offset, the difference in outside placement is 4mm, which is like 1/8". Really not a big deal, the biggest difference is that his tires are probably straight with his rims whereas mine might be bulged just a bit.
An 8in rim with a 30-35mm offset should be should be good, or an 8.5 with a 32-37 offset. Somewhere in there.
Not sure about stock suspension and inner tire clearance. You must remember that both of us are on custom coilovers. |

Guigiulandry got his from Selex Suspension in Canada.
When I had mine I had them fabricated by Truechoice Motorsports in OH.
To be done right, they aren't cheap. |

in the average of 1500$ for my basic dual piston nitrogen self-adjusting revalved shock with tein springs, but the shock stiffness isn't adjustable, the height is adjustable. but really they did a perfect job it's not too stiff and i got just enough travel not to rub unless i hit some big bumps... still need to roll the rear fender..... i installed those wheels also on the stock shock with eibach springs no problem in the front but close (2mm) but like I said i needed a 1/4 spacer in the back that i kept afterward to keep the flush look
