Offset Question

[CAMRY_SE]

Will a 17x8 with +35 offset fit in our 07 CAMRY?

I am planning to get 225/50 on them.

will it be ok even if i installed TRD springs?


thanks.

I am not totally sure. It sounds like it will fit but it may be close due to the low offset. Hopefully some other Cam owners chime in.

How are the roads in Saudi Arabia? That setup would look pretty good with some TRDs.

it should fit. the front might be tight but the rears will clear.
i have 19x8.5 +38 and lowered and there is no rubbing

moky I am so jealous of your offset. Makes me want some spacers. i am sitting on 19x8.5 +42

the front sits flush, the rears would need a spacer since for some reason i have camber on it. i do want to switch wheels, been thinking about this set ive seen 19x8.5 +32..that would make it hellaflush in front and the rear just right...

Thanks alot for your info.

about the roadr in Saudi Arabia, it depends on the city.

I am in Jeddah and it is crap. this why i am sticking with 17" and not upgrading to 19"or20"

moky... That +32 offset would look hellaflush. I wish I had gotten 19x9 instead of 19x8.5. I thought about getting spacers but I wasnt shure how these would affect handling and overall stability. I sense no problems but I havent heard real life experiences yet.

CAMRY-SE... I hear ya about the roads. I live in NYC and the roads here suck just about all over. I am still sitting on 19s though because I know how to position my wheels so I dont suck up bumps. I also got wider tires so I can roll over some more bumps instead of dropping into them. Next step in 255/35/19 tires but they are "hellaeexpensive"

reprod - to go with 255/35/19, you might want to use a 9 inch wide rim.

camry_se - with regards to using 225/50 on the 17x8, you maybe can go with 235/45 so that the sidewall sits perfectly vertical. i use 225/50 on the 17x7 and it sits perfectly linear. this will help you avoid getting rashes or curb marks if your tires arent stretched.

moky-

did you use 225/50 on the stock wheels?

the reason i am going with them because i saw them on GS350 and side walls look much better than our 215/55.
But lexus wheels are 17x7.5.

[moky-tron]

yes on the stock 17" wheel, i used 225/50/17 and they look a lot better than the 215/55 and handles a tad bit better on the rain (since i got all weather tires instead of the traditional all season)

i have 225 50 17 on gs300 rims (winters) and they work great.

with +35 offset though, you might need spacers
