Question about rims and if they'll fit... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So, I have a question/issue.
On my 2001 Camry LE V6 I had a set of 18" ADR M-Sport in Hyper Black installed.
They are 18" x 7.5" with a 48 offset.
I cracked one of them on a pothole, and since the rim was discontinued, it has been next to impossible to find a replacement.
I found a set of 2 that may work. However, they are 18" x 8.5" with a 35 offset.
The question is, will these work, or what will I need to do to make them work, or is it too much work to make them fit?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Those will work. The +35 offset is a plus. Just put the 8.5s in the rear

thoes should fit but it will be close. the rears will prolly rub though, you may need spacers.

Do you (or anybody) have any pics of what spacers look like and how they go on? I've never had to deal with them before so there's my excuse

extended lug nuts pressed in and 20mm spacers.

here they are installed..

what it does is that it pushes the wheels out more.. from..

to this..

Nice. Thanks

Looks like it helps fill out the rear wheel well too. Any problems rubbing on the outside?

make sure to get quality spacers.

do you have to put extended lugs for 10mm or 5mm spacers?

TheKevin · 03-16-2009, 04:54 AM

with 5mm spacers, no, you don't have to. it is highly recommended though.

with 10mm spacers, yes, you should

looking at those 20mm spacers, you cant really tuck the wheel too much.

guess I'd need 18 or 15mm or tuck nicely?

I dont think it would rub. It will be VERY close. But will not rub. My 18 X 8 with a 44mm offset didn't rub, even with my stock suspension. Was so close that my little finger was crushed when i put the wheel on once but no rub, front or back. Will say I need to look into spacers now, the offset that the back has bothers me when I stand infront of the car.

i have 17x7 with 50mm offset and the backs used to rub on the inside against my struts of my 01 camry 4cyl.

I had to get spacer to push the wheel hour.. i've got 1/4 inch spacers... with
215/50/17 on now. its all good in the hood now.
