The rim specs need to match. These are the measurements for the rim NOT the tyre. The bolt hole pattern matches but the problem you will have is the OFFSET. This is how far the wheel sticks out of the wheel arch. Too low a setting and the tyres will rub inside the wheel arch. Too high and the wheels will stick too far out of the wheel arch. Each giving its own mechanical problems.

Procedure for pulling the alternator
1, Disconnect Negative battery cable. 2. Remove the serpentine belt. 3, Jack up the right front end.
!!! Use additional jack stands, engage e-brake and make sure the wheels
are chocked. You do not want the car to fall while your working on,
under or inside it !!!! 4. Remove the right front tire 5. Remove
the wheel well splash shield. The splash shield is held on by a dozen
or so anchors. Use a small flathead to pop the centers out. They should
slide out. You'll get it. Remove the shield. 6. Remove the field and Bat+ wires. 7. Remove the two bolts. The alternator is now loose. 8. Remove the alternator through the wheel well. Don't get frustrated. It really can be done.
