Camry custom tire fitment problem!! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello Friends,

I had 215/60/R15 tires installed on my 1998 Camry XLE V6 which has stock 15x6JJ rims. Previously I had 205/65/R15 tires.

However I have a question. The new tires bulge out a bit at the rims. You can check the pictures in the link. When I asked the Wal-Mart who installed the tires he said that would be no problem. Pls. I need your help. Would tires coming out of the rims a bit (as shown in the pics) be a problem?

Thank You in advance for your help!

And yeah here is the link for the pics:

Ok, you put a 215 tire where a 205 previously was. IT'S A WIDER TIRE! Of COURSE it will stick farther out from the rim.

OMG it's BULGING OUT!

Tire width is usually preet lenient, don't worry about it!

What is preet lenient? And also when the tire specs were like 215/60/R15 and wheel is also R15 it should fit right? then why is it sticking out?

Thank You anyways JCamry94

Apparently I forgot how to spell

"Pretty lenient" is what I intended to say. I mean width fitments can bulge over and not effect anything. It's sticking out because the tire is wider, that is all.

Alright. You were worried about THAT???? Its perfectly normal. Now WHY did you not buy Goodyear Assurance Tripletreds? Hmmmmm???? Those tires are just simply the best.

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!
