Hi Im looking for some new rims for my alero, is there a max size for it? It isnt lowered or anything like that. Wanted to know if I could get some 20's on it. And any universal 5 lug should fit right? or is there a depth issue I will have to deal with? Thanks in advance

I have a 99 olds alero four door and I recently put 20" helo royals on it and I would not recomend you to do it.
I am pretty good with all types of things and it was a challenge for me I had to take all four strut assemblies off and cut the spring mount off of the strut then I had to move it up a half an inch then reweld it and had to do that to all four.
I thought it would be fine but I was wrong the wheels sat right below the spring tower asembly and wouldnt allow it to move that in turn fourced me to make the above mods.
so If I were you I would buy some 18" wheels much less of a hasel.

Good suggestion. A man of good reasoning. :bigthumb:
