Tire question, 18 in rims

[werkit217]

have any of u fitted or knoe if a 225/40/18 tire would fit a gen 4 camry? would there be rubbing issues?

[Zviator]

I'm dont neither think it would be direct fit nor good looking.

16-17 is optimal IMAO since camry gen4 is still "skinny" and has such "tiny ass", lol.

[werkit217]

well i may be potentially given a FREE set of 18's that would fit tha cam, but it did have that large tire size so was wonderin

[Zviator]

Oh well, if u lower the ride, it wont be that bad. But notice that using larger wheels than factory will cause the speedometer to be off (u run faster than the gauge read).

U might also face the problem in accelerating since the larger wheels are heavier and need more throttle.

Not all free stuffs can be used... lol.

fox_prime ran 18x8s all around with 5mm spacers in the back ... i dont know what size his tires were but im sure theyre very similar ...

i have yet to put my 18s on ... my tires are 225 45 18. i wouldve stuck with 17s but i couldnt really pass the deal up ... i'd be interested in hearing the experiences of anyone else whos actually running with this size tires on a gen4

im not asking for opinions, i just want to know if it works

[ONE_to_HATE]

it'll fit. Just make sure ur wheels have the right offset.

[werkit217]

this is tha set of rims i may be given

[DarkMastyr]

not sure if the offset on a gen4 is exactly the same as a gen3, but I run 18x8 +35et w/ 225/40/18s and there's slight rubbing over bumps with the rear fender lips.

i'm running 225/40-18 on 18x7.5 +42 offset and a 2" drop. no rubbing issues.

[werkit217]

I had 18X8 +35 offset wheels with 225/40-18's TRD shocks/springs with no problems.

I sold them because:
18" tires alot more expensive than 17"
18" wheels heavier than 17"
they were white and ugly.

I have 17X8.5 +35 wheels with 235//45-17 and am much happier with rear fender rolled.

i already told you they'll fit.
