quick question about tire size

ok, I REALLY want a set of the SILVER SUBARU STi rims

they are made either by Enkei or BBS I believe, but they look the same i think

the rims are 17x8

now, My tires are 215/45ZR/17

the specs online said they will fit anything that's between 7-8 inches wide.

the stock tires for the rims are 225 though

so would it make a huge diff between 215 and 225?

Is the lug spacing correct for a Camry?

Or do you mean that you want that style of rims for your camry?

If your stock tire is a 195/70/14 then the 215/45/17 is the most commonly recommended size for you to plus size with.

The 215 will not be a problem on that wheel.

Have you checked to see what the offset is on that wheel? In addition to correct lug pattern and tire size, you need the right offset as well. If you stated the offset, I missed it. You also need to know the center bore size since it's a factory wheel instead of an aftermarket wheel. I don't know what the hub size is on Subarus. Factory wheels are made to fit the hub of the specific car they're going on whereas aftermarket wheels are made with larger center bore so that they can be fitted on many cars. If the center bore is the same or bigger as the Camry that's fine. If it's smaller you won't be able to use them.
