looks aside it's not a good idea to have a 4banger try to move those wheels on a constant basis (same thing applies to 4banger lifted 4X4's). It is simply going to burn your engine out much faster trying to move the heavier wheels, steering is gonna go faster trying to turn those heavier wheels, and if you actually think it looks good, you are already brain damaged and sitting up higher in thinner air isnt good for you to begin with.

plus good luck having those stock brakes bring those to a stop...

i hope this guy is just joking with us because he sees us making fun of the car all the time.

If you arent joking...... it does not look cool to have those big ass rims on cars, you will get laughed at by EVERYONE that passes you, those rims only look good on SUVs, so go sell your alero and buy an SUV, cause you will be giving a bad name to people who drive aleros.

well let him do what he thinks looks good, in the end who cares what other people think as long as you like it. Just please take recommendations from us and do it the safest way possible so you dont plow another car because your stopping distance is doubled and your engine and basicly everything else in the car is gonna be stressed.

yes i agree who cares what people think, but when you are talking about something rediculous like this, then you have to care. i dont understand why people like the looks of those big rims on cars?

who needs brakes when you can roll right up over top of the car in front of you



hope you have good insurence!! lol

i dont like the look but ill try and help. ive heard that people use the springs from s-10's to raise it a little, but im not sure if thats how its actually done

[racin4JC]

You are going to need more than s-10 springs to raise, because right now the stock struts are maxed out with our current springs so he will need either a taller strut/longer strut, or else somehow refab the current struts so the bracket is lower. By doing this though it is going to change the angle of everything especially in the front, and good luck trying to get your alignment right or making turning clearance.

i wonder what the total cost will end up being?

Note, he hasn't replied to anything yet....


Sorry dude.... It's just not a good look anyway you look at it... IF you are going that big, make it look worse and put some of those HUGE 33" mud tires on it.

[Redog]

Wow dude, you're getting no love.

22's, yo it's assine, yo! After tha wheels, yo, you gots to buy the big brake kit yo! So you're talking about $3200 for the wheels, $2000 for the brakes, and throw in another $500 to $1000 for tires. (I don't know how much the tires are, becuase I don't look for anything retarded) So that's about $6000 for wheels and tires.

And you made fun of my car At least my car is functional
