I think milt had 19's on at one point?

If you go wider than 8 your gonna need to roll them fenders.

Check the camry offset thread... theres tons of configs in there...

Yup Milt had 19's, now I have 'em.

There 19x8.5 +40 offset. Since i'm dropped I had to have my rear fenders rolled, use 5mm spaces and I still scrape.

the best for most is 18 or 17 since they consider tirelife and expense. i got 17s but wish i had 18 for the looks. but one good bump and im glad i have that extra sidewall to keep from popping my tires.

Personally I think 17" for a Gen 3 with little or no lowering or 18s to a max of 19s with aggressive lowering. I have 17x7 wheels with 45 seris tires and with no lowering. The ride is perfect for me, and what an improvement over stock 195/70/14 tires!! Thou next set up might be a lil lowered due to the body roll factor of stock struts.
Also another point to consider is that the Gen 3 has a pretty small and short ass end and I find it looks funny if you have to big-a-wheel! Just depends on the look you want....2..jeezz no cent sign on the keyboard!!?

If going with 18's and worried so much about loosing sidewall protection than just up the tires!! If you started out with a V6 you can run 45 series tires with 18's and not mess up the speedometer that much but the other hand people who started with the i4 engine have to rock 40 series tires with 18's to not mess up the speedometer up too much!!!

i find it hilarious that you guys think 17s are too small when the steelies are 14s

IMO 17s are plenty big, especially with a drop ... and definitely better for comfort
