Confused Tire size for 98 camry

[pk_kk]

I've done a search and alot of people are saying different size of tires that will fit on my

98 4cyl camry.

what size tires and rims will fit my car ? i'm looking for a 17" rim and a set of tires that wont rub.

What is your wheel size and off set?

I had 215/45/17 on the car and just changed them to 225/45/17 this past weekend. Nothing rubs when I'm driving alone but when I have passengers in the back, sometimes it does rub when I hit big bumps (eg. train tracks). So I would recommend 215/50/17. You can take a look at it at the next meet.

BTW: You are going to drop the car? Right?

Yes, i have a 99 camry and my tires are 225/45/17, and when i have people in the back seat it does rub a little when i hit large bumps as well... but other than that i have no problems they ride great...

215/40s on my 17"s...no rub

^ 215/40???

woah....those are undersized.....how low is your drop again?

even 215/45 is undersized....that's what I didn't like about them...215/50 is better, but I still prefer 225/45 just because they look more beefy

King, I think I messed up on my post....you're right, I'm bailing for lunch in 5 minutes and I will get the size off of the tire.....I am an idiot

cool cool what do all these numbers mean?

17"x7, 5x100/5x114.3 bolt pattern, +40mm offset.

The only thing i know is the offset and bolt pattern

[Knailgun]

King was right....50's was what they were....

??

then you know everything there....

the wheels at 17inches by 7 inches wide, it can use 2 different bolt patterns 5x100 OR 5x114.3
and it has a 40mm offset

So would 215/45R17 Tires fit on my 99 Camry and not rub? I want to get 17 inch rims for my Camry but i don't want any problems.

[Creeps228]

yea 215 45 17 are fine. i ran that on my camry and its dropped about an inch and i have no problems only with people in the back...because i tend to pack 4-5 people in the back at once
