5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Can you have 9.5 in the rear with out having to mod. I think I want to go with a staggered look, but I don't want to deal with anything else besides putting on the tires.
But are there any issues with 9.5. Or, is it that you just cant have 9.5 in the front because you will rub or not be able to fully turn left and right...yada yada.

on TRD springs, you should be fine. Anything lower and bigger than 18x9.5, you definitely need to roll and pull fenders.

Oh.. I want to get 20's. How hard is rolling and pulling fenders?
u can rent a rolling machine urself, but for pulling, you need a professional.
even rolling ur fenders, theres a good possibility that your paint will crack or web. And your fenders buckling in is also a great possibility.
Lots of dangers in rolling/pulling. My advice would be to get a shop to do it for you. Good luck finding one though, almost 99% of shops don't want to mess with rolling fenders.
And 20x9.5, you DEFINITELY need to get it rolled AND pulled.

are you lowered or not? if you arent and not planning to then yes it is definitely 100% guaranteed you can have 9.5 on the rear. but even this you cant just use any tires, i believe you have to get at least 235/35/20 on the rear
but if you want to get the car lowered, then no you cant put 9.5 on the rear without mods
btw dont hate the camry though, most mid size sedans like camry, accord etc will need at least fender roll to fit 20x9.5 nicely
but again why are you against fender rolling and fender pull? if done profesionally it will be just fine, and worth doing i say if youre really into staggered setup, isnt that right peach?
Yes sir I am lowered. Stupid Eibacks! I just like the aggressive look of the staggered. But it seems like too much of a hassle. Maybe I will just get 20's with 225/35/20 and maybe down the road get some spacers for the rear.

the camry might be tough to roll. if they use the same materials as lexus does, (which they probably do), then they would be a bitch to roll. not to mention you might need to clear the gunk away under the fender.
you can rent a fender roller, but also rent a heat gun. that would make the metal a little softer to work with, plus it would help in not cracking the paint.
best bet is to have a shop do it for you like what peach said. that way you can be sure that you'll get guaranteed work.
there are always ways of making wheels fit, just depends on how much money you are willing to spend. the cheapest are rolling fenders and pulling. then, there is custom flaring and shaving.
I have been trying to figure out if I can drop my car too. I have 20's. I measured them and they are 9.5" from outside rim to outside rim. I'm pretty sure that they are 20x8.5. The offset I measured at 43mm. I have 245/35/20 rubber. It's going to be a close call.

Roy, I used to have 20x8.5 +38 offset with 245-35-20 and it rubbed with eibach in the rear. But you have +43 offset. That extra 5mm tuck in might do the trick for you not to rub. I think you will ok.

Back on stock height and love it!
yeap 245 tires on a 8.5 will be a problem, use 225/35/20, the stretch will be really2 mild or even no stretch at all, so i definitely recommend 225/35/20 or even 225/30/20 on a 8.5, and yes i think +43 might hit the strut
Well, I'm not rubbing anything at stock height. I have also driven around with 5 adults without any problems. I wouldn't think a drop would cause the tire to get any closer to the strut. Am I off base with my thinking here?

Not off base, but I was referring to the 9.5" rims with +43mm offset (and 245 tires). I don't think that is what you have.
