whats it gonna take

[candy painted alero]

i wanna put some 22's on my 04 alero how much am i going to have to lift it to fit them?

[CactusWill]

Don't do it.

[Redog]

Let's see, 22's hmmmmmmm....

New brakes
lifted suspension
heavy duty control arms
4t65 tranny swap
tub out rear wheel wells
smaller turning radius

All that money and will look stupid as hell, the only real benfit to it is you won't have to rasie the front end to do an oil change :rolleyes2:

[heineck]

look at his prof. pic itll flo with his car, i say do 20s

[candy painted alero]

naw 20s not big enough i gotta do 2's ive seen it on a few before i just wonder if i can do it without cutting the wheelwell plus how much am i going to have to lift it i can get a 3" lift i dont know if i need more

[CactusWill]

smaller turning radius


end result? I doubt it :lol:

[heineck]

[candy painted alero]

[Oldsnut]

That dude did it :( Any car you have to lift up for rims just seems wrong.

[Redog]

IDK I just don't get the big rims thing

[Naich]

To each their own, but rims that large on this style body hurts my eyes. 22's on a nice SUV, sure. Even on a Chrysler 300. But it just does not have nice proportions on a mid size sedan.

[Oldsnut]

Quoted for truth.

[Oldsnut]

After watching that video all that I can say is WOW. Scratch Head. :eek:

[worknprog.99]

there is nothing to say about this thread really.... anything over 19 on an alero looks just wrong.

[pimpalero2003]

I'm goins 20s front 22s back or all around 22s but on the ground
leave the guy alone!!!
What was the thing new owners no bashing / flamming new members???

[Golden Alero]

Make them spin while your at it

[GA_turbo]

WOW, what are you running for speakers EV or BEYMA?

Also if you go with 22s your car is going to look like a frog unless you get some nice coilover set up or air cylinders for air ride, also you need to get the right offset so you can still turn and all of your tires dont rub.

[clutch1]

That system looks badass.

^^^^ lol

[pimpalero2003]

See pic in my sig wasn't a fan of my 20s but got them cheap and they look good on aeds

[FrankTheTank]

i say shake the haters off and go for it.

[Psyfox]

If you're gonna lift it with 22"s...please put hydro on that so you can literally bounce your car down the street.

[AleroDrime]

if you got bank for 22's get a rim shop to do it all

[Redog]

It's not my taste, but if your going to do it, do it right or don't do it at all.

All those cars have the stock brakes on them, that's not done right.

a typical 22" rim weighs in around 110 lbs not counting the tire. A OE rim and tire tips the scales at 48 lbs. You're more than doubling the weight, per wheel, thus increasing stopping distance and wear on the brakes.

Look into doing a big brake conversion first. Big brakes will look better behind the wheels and serve a function too. Most big brake kits for the "N" bodies require a 17" wheel. They are usually listed under the Grand Am. I'm pretty sure PFYC.com still has a big brake kit under the GA section.

Of course suspension is important too, the "A" arms will probably hold up, the tire rods may go early, transmission will see problems eventually. The only way your going to tuck rims that big is to tub the body

[candy painted alero]

i got some old pictures couldnt get to the car today these dont have the speakers in yet

[CactusWill]

That dashboard cannot be serious....

[Crazytaxi37]

WOW!! Sadly, for all the work you have put into this ride. The large ass rims your looking at seriously detract from the work you have already done. Go for a nice set of 19" or 20"s and slam that biotch.

p.s. Don't even think about bouncing an alero on hydros. Tweeks the body every time.

[candy painted alero]

lol its only got 4 8s in it hold on lemme add a few more
top one is front of my wall with blowthrough and bottom is sideview not painted yet tho as u can see 6 10" tma's for bass 2 15s in the front 2 10s and a horn on each side plus i have a pod on my roof with 4 6s and the center console has 2 8s n 2 tweeters and gps :P

[cherrington17]

i'm pretty sure, removing your speedo/tach for speakers.. is illegal...

regardless of state.

[Alerosaint]

You must be from houston huh? the home of candy paint and gripping grain
I dont know how to get 22 on that but good luck on it...post a pic if you get through

Edit: Just watched the video. Confirmed definitely got to be Houston TX

As long as it's what you want. To me it's...

You can see its just moved to the center, like the alien toyota echo dashboard.

[RisenequinoX]

I hope you're not serious;)

it destroys what you have....

nice ride btw do what you want, your car.

[KenshinZero]

I see too much of that around here, Michigan that is, be totally different and get 10" wheels!!!! :lol: Relay tho, IMO I dont like anything over 17" when it comes to wheels, there is just too much wheel for my taste, not to mention Alero's all ready sit like an off road vehicle stock, and putting wheels that big and lifting it, why not just buy a small truck. To me a car should sit low on the ground.

[Redog]

^^ Do you remeber back in the day, putting 12's 150 spoke on late 60's Impala :lol:

Like I said, it's not my taste, but do it right, for your safety and the saftey of others ;)

[JLw7123]

22's are to big go with 18's or 20's nothing higher to me it will look stupid

[clutch1]

I hope you're not serious;)

I most certainly am. That's some good ass fiberglass work. That whole dam interior is reworked. Dude did some good work on it.

[pimpalero2003]

That is true

[HazMatt24]

^^ Do you remeber back in the day, putting 12's 150 spoke on late 60's Impala :lol:

obviously you ain't kicked it with the eses (ess a's for you crackers out there) enough. I've seen 'em put Daytons on Impalas, Toyotas, Hondas, early 80's surburbans, an old school Beetle, and even a '50's Nomad Wagon. I'm sure I'm leaving out some good examples but basically if has an engine and runs, the eses will put Daytons on it and drape a Mexican flag somewhere in it or as the front license plate too.

[GA_turbo]

LOL ^^^^ so true and dont forget the rims that stick out like a foot out of the wheel wheld LOL.
