Has anyone put Gen5.5 SE V6 (solora rims) on a Gen5 LE? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I was wondering since the specs are the same as the is300 rims. 17x7 +50mm would the stock tire size 215/55/17 Fit an a Gen5 Le without rubbing? Since the suspension on the 5.5 SE are different than the Gen5LE. Or should I just stick to 215/50/17 as some people have with those wheel specs. I don't plan to drop or anything.

suspension isn't that much different between the se and le, not enough that there should be a problem with rubbing with the se rims.

What about between the gen5 and gen5.5?

well if they're the same specs as the rims you have on now, there should be no problem at all.

So which tires do you guys recommend: 215/55/17 or 215/50/17

i'd use 215/50/17 -- if you got 18's or 19's then i'd do 225/45/18 ; 225/40/19's. I think all of these match up to oem circumference just so that the spedo is not off too much.

i did 225/50/17 on my SE wheels. I like a little more width on my tires, gives it that sporty yet still low profile look.

Whats the offset on the Gen6 SE wheels? +40? I heard that going above 215 would rub with the is300 rims cause they're +50. I really like having 215/55 cause I think it would be a significant difference than what I'm running now. 215/45

Gellenole do you have pics of your setup before your drop? I kinda want to see that 215/50 would look like w/o a drop.

Well I found a golf side lump on one of my tires today..... So I guess its time to change them all to something I like. I still wonder if I should go with 215/50/17 or 215/55/17?? Anyone?

i had is300 rims on my es300,, i had to put a 1/8 spacer in the rear, to clear the 215/50 r 17's , but not when i had z rated tires.

go witha 50 series to get the speedo right

liquidi3ladz · 05-09-2008, 12:36 AM

Speedo isn't really a issue for me since even with stock tires they're just as off. What gen was your ES300?

theslowone · 05-09-2008, 12:40 AM

it was a 97 model. u know about 90% camry

all stock except for 99 model hid lights and is rims
actuall sold it right after i bought the gen 6 se.
