Rims and Kit for 99 Camry?

I was wonderin' what size rim and tire would be good for a 4cylinder 1999 Camry. I'm open to suggestions for body kits as well. I was thinking of getting an EVO IV Body Kit. I would also like to know an estimate on how mcuh it costs to install the rims and Body Kit.

The website says "AIT Body Kit components are fabricated using a high quality fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material that provides greater strength and durability with less weight than traditional fiberglass construction." in the details.

I don't know too much about what is good quality.

Rims I have inmind

personally i think the only kit that looks really good is the TRD lip kit but its up to your tastes. i like those wheels. are you lowered or plan on lowering? that kit hangs low and will be tough to lower with.

16" to 18" are good wheel diameters for the Gen 3 & 4 camry, IMO ...
6 - 7.5" wide, 8-9" if you want to do some fender work ...

rim installation can be done in your driveway for virtually free ... all you need is a pair of jackstands (i have Craftsman brand from Sears), a good jack [the OEM scissor jack is not the safest, i like to use a known-brand of floor jack], and a torque wrench .... of course you will need the appropriate socket to remove the lugs [for the gen 3 its 21mm i believe, i would guess that gen 4 is the same]

you just jack up the front of the car - put jackstands under it for safety - remove the lug nuts and wheels, place the new wheels (with mounted & balanced tires) on the car, tighten the lugs up to ~76 ft-lbs i believe, and put the car back on the ground ... the whole car can be done in idk, 1 hour, if youre familiar with the process

and like bigbird said, most of the kits look ugly and butcher the factory body lines/styling ... the TRD kit is the only kit ive seen that keeps the factory lines and adds something positive to the look of the car overall

I don't really plan on lowering the car since it will look low with the kit I want to get. The TDR does look nice I'm going to look more into it.

I don't know if I'll get many performance parts. Mostly going for looks at the moment. If any one has suggestions on what to get to enhance performance I would be glad to hear it.

I might be able to get someone I know to install the kit. I also want to get a paint job for the car preferably black.

I also found these rims which are also nice
