just remember that Aleros are huge compared to the imports that recieve this stance, so 18's would be the minimum. Depending on the width you are likely going to be at 0 or negative offset. I have 8.0jj +15 on my near and it is just flush with the fender. Maybe using a 1 or 2 aspect larger tire would fill it in a lot better. Aleros seem to have small wheels compared to the fenderwells. Are diamond racing rims even available in 5 lug lol? I only see them on the smallest vdubs and s13/s14

Yea they have them in 5x114.3 which will work fine. Also they custom make the wheels for each order and wheels are only like $80 a piece. Im probably going to do 17s 8.5 or 9 wide most likely going to stretch tires as well. Not 205s on a 355 or some dumb like that but maybe 225 insted of 275s
Edit: post up a pic of your wheels!

I'm at work right now lol. Do you have a link to the ones you are looking at? I need to replace my stock rims (lost 2 in an accident) and I just know that the ahoes at the wreckers are going to charge me like-new prices because this is Canada and we hate good prices.

from that link it sounds like they can make anything you want. Thats a miata so those are likely 14's. Just need a bigger version.

They might be a little weak compared to thick aluminum stock wheels. They seem really thin in the hub area.

yeah but I doubt you could have the strength of a 5" thick aluminum wheel? they are used for racing so maybe its ok.

True, if they work on rally and track cars im sure they would be fine on a dd. I have heard issues of them with pot holes but than again all wheels have problems with potholes lol
