both sets of tires are bigger than stock. the 215/70r15 are pretty big, they fit on the rims, but might not on the car.
you can use tire calculators like this one to check out sizes
http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit
just input the stock tire size, and the size(s) that you want to compare and it'll tell you if it's close or not.
stock 15" size is P215/60R15

Thank you! I wonder if the aspect ratio of 65 would be too big. Ill try that site.
%edit% Just tried, looks like over 3% is bad on the brakes, the 65s are 3.27% oversized. Looks like Im just gonna hafta find the exact size.

My Alero is running 205/65/15 on the stock wheels, only because the previous owner was too cheap. So my speedo is off a little over 1%

It's a even skinnier tire than the 215, plus its a cheap ass brand, Prime Well or something like that. Follows every groove in the road...
