aftermarket wheel sizing for 08 CE?

[mn011890]

im looking at buying some konig heatsink wheels for my 08 CE and on the site i plan to buy from they have 3 different bolt patterns under what will fit the 08 camrys. 5x100, 5x110, and 5x114. which one is it? also for the 18x8 wheel should i stick with stock offset or go with somethin different? any help is greatly appreciated

Bolt pattern is 5x114.3. What selections of offsets can you choose from?

You can either do a search here on TN as that was discussed many times what wheel size and offsets work or you can research on your own on sites like http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

As a startup info, I went with 18x8 with +40mm all around on 225/45 and I am pretty happy with it (on TRD)

Good luck

ok thanks guys. i found the offset thread after posting this thread and it seems +40 or +45 seems to be the way to go. am i right on that?

+40 will sit more flush against the fender whereas +45 will be more tucked in towards the strut.

+1, if you have the choice, pick +40 or something a bit less (like +38 is fine too). Looks better in my mind.

if i went with the +40, would i have enough room to lower it in the future w/o rubbing?

I have that setup and lowered on TRD springs - absolute no problem.

What he said.

alright thanks. would the same things work if i decided to go with a 19x8 instead? and how do y'all think 19s would look with stock suspension and no body effects? i dont want to look like those old chevys that are all jacked up on huge wheels. lol

Epsilon and others can tell you all about it, but with 225/40 it's the same thing as the 18" with 225/45. Just 2mm larger radius on the 19", no other measurable difference. Consider price and what type of driving experience you look for - beyond appearance.

You can feel a difference between 225/45 and 225/40 and less wheel gap.

Yes, difference in driving due to lower profile...but I don't consider the 2mm radius difference significant - it's within the thread wear, easily. 19" just look bigger than the 18", of course.

im lookin for a sporty feel to it, not too harsh. i know i won't get a much sportier feel w/o a suspension upgrade but any improvement would be nice. im worried about messin with my warranty with lowering springs.i can get em for around the same price.
