Tweaked your title.

Also, you may want to try comparing your OEM tires size to this. Just see which of the two sizes you want matches best. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

I'd go with 205/50/17, that's what I went with on my 17"s. The reason I didn't go with 215 was possible rubbing, and also larger footprint, something I don't really need in a camry.. it's not picking up speed fast enough where th extra centimeter of grip will help in anyway. Also helps save gas mileage.

What are the IS300? 17x7" that's what mine was.. if it's 17x8, which i don't think it is.. i'd go with 215.. but I'm almost positive its 17x7 so go with 205.. i'd even go with 195 to keep it OEM width but they didn't have that tire size

You'll also enjoy losing a few MPG with wider wheels.. so it's all personal preference
