I am looking to purchase XXR 962s 18x8.5 all around. I have a 03 camry. Was wondering what kinda of offset i would need to clear? will +35 do? or could i do +35 and a 5mm spacer to compensate? Also, is th 8.5 width to big for the camry? I would like the wheels to sit flushed all around. Thanks in advance guys

+35 will fit and 8.5 will fit.

Will it sit flush? and what tire size should i run?

is your car lowered? i'm no expert i just know they'll fit. Not sure if they'll be flush, but i know they won't be tucked in too far.

Car is not lowered, but im planing on lowering it soon on megan lowering springs.

^ah... you've found the megan springs. you're the only other individual that mentioned the megan lowering springs for the gen5 camry. you'll be glad with your purchase. it will creak a little in the beginning, but when they settle, the car will look nicely dropped.

^you have pics of it dropped on megans? Would like to see some pics.

Mister Z · 09-04-2008, 09:26 PM

Does anyone have an idea of what size tires I should run?

sure

^this is after settling and with two passengers in the back.

^i believe this is when i just got the springs on. it settles to a little less than 2 inches of a drop all the way around.

i've recently pushed out the rear wheels a little bit with 5mm spacers (the most one can safely go imo) to get the rears a little bit less-tucked (but not totally flushed) and even with the fronts- the drop looks a lot more noticable with that little change.

in addition, the only times i've rubbed was with 4 passengers and baggage on deep freeway dips- basically with a full car. other than that, the ride is unchanged and just as quiet as stock imo. i doubt their ridiculously high spring rates, since i don't notice a change.
