I want to buy and install the Hub Centric Rings for 2007 Camry LE I4.
I know the outer diameter for my wheel is 73.
Does anyone know the hub inner diameter for our 2007 Camry LE I4?
Thanks...

What is the purpose/advantage to having these hubcentric rings?
Hi ScottFern,
The hubcentric rings is to ensure the wheels/rims fit in the central of the vehicle hub. Having an aftermarket wheels, I want to make sure everytime I have a tire rotations the wheels are put back to fit perfectly in the center and these hubcentric rings main purpose is to do that.
The benefit is since the wheels is fit centrally of the hub it will minimize/reduce vibrations cause by the wheels not fit in the central of the hub.
I notice I get a little vibration after my tires were rotated by the oil change tech.
With these hubcentric rings will ensure my wheels go in perfectly everytime.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Lammydi

HUBCENTRIC - the hole in the center of the wheel fits perfectly over the hub of that particular car, so that the hub is providing the main support for the wheel. The lugs are then simply holding the wheel onto the hub. 99% of all factory wheels are hubcentric, since this method provides the least amount of vibration.
LUGCENTRIC - the hole in the wheel is bigger than the hub on your car, so the wheel is entirely supported by the lug nuts. There is nothing "wrong" with this, but it can cause more vibration that hubcentric.
So how do you end up in lugcentric situation? Aftermarket wheels are designed to be used on a variety of cars, not just a particular manufacturer. So they make sure the lug hole is big enough for all manufacturers, as long as the bolt pattern is compatible. Lammydi is buying aftermarket wheels that have a center hole 73mm which is much larger than the Toyota hub 60.1mm. He could install his wheels this way with no problem. However, to improve the installation, he will buy hubcentric rings that will reduce the hole on his wheels down to the Toyota size, so that his aftermarket wheels become hubcentric.

Thank you! I couldn't have said it better myself.
