Hey guys, a family friend of mine who owns a tire shop found some rims that I think would look really nice on my car. He can give me a sweet deal on them since they were sold back used to the store. He can also put some nice branded, used tires on them for me to get a budget set up. I couldn't find much on bolt patterns myself, but they seem close to 5x115 like Aleros, but I don't know if close counts when it comes to rims and tires. I also found an ad on craigslist with the exact same rims, only for a much higher price, on a Grand Am GT. Here's a link to the rims:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/pts/2377963138.html

They are:
18x8.5
+35 offset
patterns 5x144.3 and 5x120

Would these fit my car? Im a complete newbie when it comes to aftermarket rims. They are black with a blue lip. He has been busy so he hasn't had a chance to really look up the bolt pattern on our cars to see if they would work because his business and full price sales come first. I looked up the bolt pattern and I found the alero pattern is 5x115. Is that correct?

Seeing how in the ad the rims are on a pontiac grand am, yes these will fit your Alero. Pontiac Grand Ams are near 100% identical to Aleros when it comes to parts

He just wants these gone... Im sure you could offer him something reasonable and he would go for it...
Good luck, they are nice rims!

I saw those too, if the lip wasn't blue I would be all over them.

Alright thanks! I won't have any problems with the bolt pattern or need spacers? I may offer him something but my family friend said he could get them for about half of what they are on craigslist, but I bet they aren't in perfect shape and the used tires he would get for me to keep the price down would probably only last through the summer.

They will stick out past the fenders. The grand am fenders have more clearence on them....

So would they not work? I'm ok with the lips sticking out a bit.

they will work, the grand am is the same exact car, so if it fits on that, it will fit on your alero.

it would be tight. you could definitely modify something and make it work though.
