rims and tires question

[skateordie]

A friend is giving me a set of 17" montegi rims and 45 low tires..was wondering if it'll fit on a 1990 Camry he had it on a 94 camry

Sorry man it wont fit since gen2 bolt pattern is 5x100 and the gen3 is 5x114.3

If they are dual drilled for both 5x114 and 5x100, the wheels might fit. The tires will be too large and will need to be replaced.

What is the width and offset of the wheels? Make sure you get the correct hubcentric spacer while you are at it.

The correct size is probably going to be 215/40/17.

ive been on 215/40/17 for 8 yrs now with any problems of damaging rims going through potholes. ive drove across the country from washington state to new york city. around idaho farm/dirt/crappy city roads and same with some terrible roads in nyc. the tire size seems to provide enough cushion to prevent potholes from damaging the tires.

i do get a bit of fender rub with a heavy car stereo in the trunk and back seat full of people, but im lowered on intrax springs and kyb gr-2 struts.
