w/the lip those size- those rims will look like 16".

The wheel's overall look is very agressive and its a little too much for a camry..imo.

5zigen's a plus tho! but for me- i'd say no.

goodluck!

The back might rub unless you use spacers.

Personally, I would go 17x7, and I don't really like that huge / deep dish look. Well not that much anyway.

Like others said, be sure to get a drop if you decide to install them.

well I'm definately getting suspension upgrade this summer cuz my current ones are FINISHED and I mean it haha.. I already got quotes.. $1000 for Eibachs struts + KYB shocks + labour (as I don't have the tools to do it DIY). I'm just waiting for a nice weather to do it.. cuz I don't want snow to get on the new suspension yet..

as for the rims. I'm not going to get it. I like it at the beginning but after trying to picture it on the camry. It just doesn't look so great. I will have to wait for another good offer of rims

that would look good, but keep in mind OEM wheels are heavy and may likely effect performance slightly, not to mention they are expensive.
