Put Se 17'' Wheels To Le Model

[TAYLOR210]

What up guys, I've pick up 08 camry LE last week and didn't like the steel wheels with funky hub-cap. They looked peice of shit!!! So i was digging hard to find the se rims from the Craigslist.
The guy was selling take-off SE wheels & Toyo px J33 for only $550 and he delivered to my house. The wheels were just like brand new and the all 4 tires were only drove under 200 miles. I could even see the nipples on the tred. Also i've checked from the tire rack, each Toyo J33 cost $169.
I will put them tomorrow. Does any body wants these 16'' steels & tires??? LET ME KNOW...

I have 3 q for camry experts in this forum.
First, Do i need to do an wheel alianment for these new wheels?? Or only check the balance....

Second, Can i still use my lug nut from my stock 16'' wheels or have to buy new ones from stealership for $5.99 each. Thats $120.00 plus 7.75% tax...

Last, How to reset or reconnect the tire sensor???

Thank you guys and hit some results before you go to bed.....



PS,
Our family had a lots of mercedes till now and we realized that the these new camry drives so nice, comfort, reliable and style....
But one thing we hate the most, [No hard fellings]Their made in usa as same as the Mercedes made by SEBRING.
Well, i guess we'll have to see how it goes for next 4-5 years.

Thanks again

A: You definately do not need wheel alignment. Since these are new tires you should not need to re-balance them. But if they vibrate then you should have them check out.

A: The lug nuts from steel wheels are not the same type as the alloy wheels. I think the alloy wheels called "acorn" lug nuts. I am not sure if they are interchangeable or not since I did not buy any SE wheels.
I'm sure other members will chime in on this one.

A: Do the new SE rims come with TPMS? If so, then you just need to ask your dealership to reprogrammed them. Each sensor come with a serial number to communicate with the transmitter.
If the new rims do not have TPMS then you will have to transfer them from your stock steelie rims. It will cost around $15 to $20 per wheel to have them transfer because each tire will need to be re-balance. But since you transfer them you do not need to reprogrammed them.
Good luck.

You do not need an alignment.

As for the steel wheels, you might want to throw one in the trunk to replace the donut.

You should not use the lug nuts for the steel wheels on the SE wheels. You need new lug nuts because the seat is likely to be different. You don't have to get lug nuts from Toyota, but you need to get lug nuts that have the same bolt diameter and thread-pitch, and the correct seat for the wheels.

You can switch the sensor over from your steel wheels to the SE wheels but you need to dismount the tires to get to them. A tire shop can do this for you.

SE alloy wheels are not short shank mag lugs?

Here is the quote from Mag66 from the other thread
I just upgraded my 07 Camry's steel wheels to Avalon aluminum wheels and had to buy the Toyota lug nuts for aluminum wheels that had the extended shank and shoulder/washer. They were $2.72 each.
But to answer your question, I don't know the specs of the lug nuts or studs, however, the studs are the same length and TPI for either wheel, but the steel wheels open-end acorn style lug nut will not work safely for the aluminum wheels.

2007 SE wheel lug nut specs???
