Will the 17" wheels from a 2004 Solara fit a Gen 4.5? I think the bolt pattern is ok, but what about the offset?

what tires?
Technically, it should but with tires, u might have some problems.

my gen 4.5 with 16" off 2004 SE camry.
215/60/16 and the tires has about 3/4 of an inch before it scrapes the top of the strut for the back tire. If it is a low profile tire, it should be OK.
Besides that, the sidewall was touching the strut of the back tire. had to put in spacers.

Yes, it will fit. Offset is similar to stock Camry offset. No worries.

Probably I'll go with 215/50/17 tires since that will keep the overall diameter the same as the 205/65/15 tires that came with my car originally. The difference in diameter is less than 1%. Your tires, 215/60/16 are larger overall diameter so I guess that is why you need spacers.
