[bestjudge]

I have Gen2 v6 Le camry . Iam looking to get Flik Wasp 17x7 5x100 ET38 73.1 black w/ polished lip wheels and Hankook Ventus V4 ES H 105 - 225/45/17 tires.... Will there be any problems? Thx

17"s will look way out of place on a gen2, expecially on stock suspension, and with 225's youll rub like a bitch in the back.

i've tried 225/50/16 on for a fit on mine, and rubbed in the back. i'd go with a 16inch rim if I were you. you can probably (but I'm still guessing, so i might be wrong) get a 225/45/16 to fit. yokohama's A048's come in that size. 200 bucks a tire tho.

I was really getting good deal on them($300 with brand new tires all around) so i had to ask. Guess i ll be getting some nice celica wheels(195 60 15 tires same got now)when i find them cheap. Thank you !

I put my mustang 17 wheel next to the car...Yes it does look out of place way out! . I have stock suspention right now...it has to be changed soon. What are the options for suspention ?

KYB or tokicos for shocks and intrax or b&g for springs... you can probbly find intrax for cheap since it's discontinued

225/45/17 is too big for your car. I believe 225/40/17 is the right size for the Camry. If you have the right offset (38-42) you can run 225 width tires. You might have to roll the fenders in the rear, and you will loose some turning radius (they rub the frame rails at full lock).

I run 205/50/16 tires on 16" wheels with a 35mm offset. I don't rub other than on the frame rail at full lock.

i tried mounting a set of Enkei 17" Shogun's on my car the other day, ( i got the wheels for free) and i couldnt get them on the rear because of the strut. front fit nice, no rubbing (except when the fender comes down on top of the tire when i hit a bump). not sure what tire was on it, just remember being really pissed off because the back didnt work. but yea
17's look alittle out of place. i will take my 15" rolla wheels anyday.
