4th Generation Opinions on these Enkeis?

Alright got everything installed today. The tires are brand new fresh Kumho SPT's 225/40/18. The wheels are Enkei OR52 18x7.5 +38 all around. Much thanks to Man and his buddies for setting me up with this killer deal! Will post better shots later on when I have time.

I like your old ones a little better, but they seen to be really flush to the body and fit well. If the price is good, go for it.

Yeah the price is really good but I'm not sure if the parents will approve. What is it about the current set that you like? I get mixed opinions so I'm just curious.

excellent look ... terrible rear fitment

id get those wheels instead of what you have now, and throw a 10 mil rear spacer on in the back

now im biased because i have a similar setup on my gen4....but i kinda like the look of your origionals better for the same reason i liked mine. the spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim and look bigger then they are...people always ask if mine are 18s. but overall i like the new wheels better.

The rims look pretty good on your car. I think you should get them.
Where did you get the lip kit?

Yeah the rears need to be pushed out quite a bit. I have some 5mm spacers laying around but 10mm may be a little unsafe for my kind of driving (canyons).

Personally I like the look of 17's on the Camry, 18's being the biggest I'd get. You're right, some wheels that lack a lip look bigger in diameter. The Enkei's are nice since they have the 1" lip and are 18". I also like the fact that I'd be running .5" wider with lighter and better quality wheels.

Thanks man, I think the new wheels would overall give the car a cleaner/newer look.

Thanks for the input. I got the lip kit from a local member on here for 350 (no spoiler though). Already painted and no shipping costs. My advice would be to keep an eye out in the For Sale section. I'm sure something should come up

Yeah Man got a new set so hopefully I can get these. Probably gonna throw 5mm spacers on the rear for better fitment. The previous Enkei's I had were too wide with the wrong offset.

10mm spacers are plenty safe if you have extended lugs .... which you should run with anything bigger than 5mm on most cars anyways

He's right. I'd even do 15mm in the rear and a bit of negative camber dialed in.

I'll try on the 5mm spacers that I have now. If it needs to be more flush (which is highly likely), I'll look into running extended lugs and spacers (negative camber too).

Good stuff. I'm still trying to get everything on my setup right in my eyes. My Works are 18x8 +37 all around. It looks about flush up front w/out hitting the fender lip, while I'm up to a 15mm spacer out back w/-1.25 deg. camber and still not happy with how it sits.

Yeah it takes some tweaking to get the exact fitment Krispy. Here are some pics of the camry. Personally I think this and Kasimmm's are one of the best looking gen5's.
