i hate the gap between my tire and wheel well but i know if i get lowering springs it would rub? or would it. Im thinking something like this.

would 1" lowering springs help it. at least get it a tad bit lower without rubbing. If i got some that would stiffen up the suspension and not allow it to flex enough to touch the tire. What do you guys think.

my concern would bewith it lovered clearing speedbump and frost heaves, which could reak havic with items such as ur exhaust

i had a lil fun with the pic i dont plan on going that low. i dont think ill b going with the tire tucking but id like the huge ass gap in between to go away.

better get airbags ... or really good coilovers

gonna have to cut and/or roll your fenders ... will probably need camber adjustments as well ... and some self-justifications as to why youre driving a Camry Donk

well its an automatic camry.. a 4cylinder at that. so it would not be a good idea to go for the racing look lol and i love chrome wheels. big chrome wheels.

im realllyyyy wanting to go that low. just looking at this pic compared to the actual ride height. im thinking bags and just slam it when parked.. and keep it high driving

i think maybe getting lowering springs and cutting the fenders sound logical to fix the problem.

get coilovers and call it a day. i went through 2 springs and wasn't satisfied. wasted my money before my CO's lol.

IMO Camry's are just not the right ride to be putting 20's on. Besides all the mechanical hurdles, It just wouldn't look correct. The Cam is too small. Save these for the SUV's and big Chrysler late model behemoths. Just my opinion.

first of all how wide are those wheels? thats gonna make a big difference if ya can lower or not. im gonna say airbags are gonna be the only safe bet. with wheels that big your gonna want to be able to easily control the ride hight. you can control it with coil overs but not easily. depending on the width of those things even 1 inch is gonna be hard to live with a a daily basis.

they are 20x8.5 with 225/35/20 tires

those are way too big for anything ... can you give the Wheel Brand, Model and the Offset?

first of all, your tires are too big i do believe - the overall wheel/tire diameter is like 2" oversized [if its a 4cyl you should be running 235/25-20 or 225/30-20]

second of all, with a 8.5" wide wheel + the tire, there is no doubt in my mind that not only will you be rolling all inner fender ... you will have to pretty much bash in the fender liner, and probably pull the fender lip out some too!

third of all, you really shouldnt even bother messing around with lowering springs at this point - you need something with adjustability (be it coilovers or air ride) because you dont want to end up with an initial setup that doesnt work and not have the ability to adjust it on the fly

im with venom on this. those are gonna be hard to lower on since they are so wide.
