Gen6 TireRack says no go for 20's

So after a long phone call with TireRack today I decide to ask you guys about rims.
Why does Tirerack insist that 20's cant fit on our car, I ask him and he said everywheel and tire combo they tested didn't fit. He said it isnt possible, due to hub and bore I think. Not really sure what he was talking about.

I'm trying to pick out my rims, I would love to go threw them since they have my wheels on sale but they wont offer it if I am buying them for the camry.
I plan on purchasing them as for a 08 Accord Sedan same bolt pattern.

My question is, is there a problem with these wheels, I belive they will fit, unless hes talking about them not being hub centric or something.

Anyways here are the wheel specs and Sorry for another Rim thread

Dropstars DS05 20 x 7.5
Offset: 42mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

I was planning on running this tire set up
225-35-20

Can somebody shed some light on this, its been confusing to me how TireRack doesn't offer 20's for the 6th Gen while other sites do.

My 20's work fine with hub centric rings.

20x8.5 245/35-20 NITTO NT555

I've gone all the way up to 120MPH on a closed course, and it was perfect. No vibrations; nothing.

Do you think I will have a problem without the hub centric rings?
I think that is going to be the only problem unless the rings they send for the accord will fit

I was actually riding around without the rings at first, and had vibrations around 55MPH. Took it to Toyota and they put on hub centric rings free of charge. No more vibration.
I have no idea if the accord shares the same size as our camry.

i believe the hub size for the accord will be bigger than the camry's. And even bigger if the accord is a v6.

im 100% sure 20x7.5 will definitely fit, but my suggestion is to get 225/35/20 tires to minimize the chances of rubbing, i know a few guys that have 22s on their camrys with minor modifications, so 20x7.5 wont be a problem

To the original question aka Tirerack not offering 20's. Tirerack has a policy that they guaranty fit, reliability, performance/handling and no issues with factory warranty etc. The correct 20's will fit - no doubt - but Tirerack probably does not want to take a chance. To stay within the OEM sizing for 20's you got to get very low profile 20's tires...maybe that is just what tirerack can not and will not guaranty re performance and ride quality. It puzzled me too, but tirerack is just a bit more conservative on what they recommend and put their full guaranty behind. Their service and level of warranty are very, very good!

Thanks for all your help guys, are there any other reputable rim/tire online companies to take a look at.
Ive tried wheelsnext, wheelsmax, edgeracing and a few other small companies
