I think the rims would look great on an alero if they fit and if they do then im going to try to follow the bid and win it

It also says somthing about new lug nuts required please explain if your know.

alerored04 · 11-08-2005, 10:48 PM

it says 4 bolt, so my guess is no.

kwhauck · 11-08-2005, 11:10 PM

yeah those are a 4 lug so that is a big no...........

edit: How many lugs does an alero rim need?

mixmastercase · 11-09-2005, 09:08 AM

an alero rim needs 5 "lugs"

ptrudel · 11-09-2005, 09:17 AM

ya need a 5X115 lug, with 38-42 offset(i think, someone wanna say yay or nay on that?)

You could always get adaptors from 4 bolt to 5 bolt. It will throw off the offset though and push the wheel out about an inch.

Never said is was a good idea, just that it could be done. I know one guy with adaptors and they haven't snapped yet. But he only drives that car about 3 times a week and not very far. So he doesn't put too much stress on them.

Quoted post

for the most part yay........although you can also use rims with the 5x114.3 lug......and if you do a lot of test fitting with your suspension, tire size and wheel fit you can squeeze on more sizes........like my wheels.....17x8 with a 29.5 offset (5x114.3 lug) and 255/40/17 tires......hmmmm beefy!!!

ptrudel · 11-09-2005, 10:28 AM

5x112 35 mm offset

wont fit

wow...change the center cap and those would be rockin on an alero...maybe even mine lol

kwhauck · 11-09-2005, 10:34 AM

exact rims on my alero, same seller too!

11-11-2005, 08:39 AM

As long as we are on the subject of rims, does anyone have 20's on their Alero? If so, how does it look? Or are 18's as big as you can go without making any mods to the area around the tire?

I'm thinking about the American Racing Casino Chrome rims, I'd like to go with 20's, but am not sure if they'd fit or how they would look on an Alero?

The other specs on the American Racing Casino Chrome rims:
size: 20x7.5
offset: +42
bolt: 5-115
backside: 5 7/8

Any thoughts?

IMHO, 20's don't have enough rubber...unless you're like Robbie(i think its him) which is kitted and bagged/hydros, then it looks good

i had the AR 18" Royales, and 18's were plenty big
