USA THe Big Wheel and Tire Decision

I inherited the wife's Camry LE after she bugged the crap out of me for a convertible Bug. Wifey want, wifey get.

So after reading forum after forum and looking for a consensus I am am asking the following questions (and all apologies if I missed the post where this was discussed)

1. SO should I go with 18', 19' or 20" wheel? And what tire combo (size wise)? I like a "full" wheel well and cleaning is not an issue.

2. And If I do decide to go 20" is a drop still possible (Looking at H&R) or even needed?

And if anybody wants to include pics of their ride with a reply? GREAT!

Thanks to all for the posts that are helping me spend my hard earned money.

depends on what year your car is...
gen 5 will need 18s
gen 6 i recommend 19s.

as long as you're not going for performance... 19's are a bit rough.

Dont worry Paul I have seen the posts.. I will PMing you soon!

Is there really that big a difference between 18" and 19"? I guess it depends on wheel?

Any suggestions on wheel type?

Great pics Paul, that's a very clean-looking car!

I have been trying to decide the same thing for my car about wheel sizes. Seems like 19s are the best overall choice for Gen 6s, even though the ride quality drops and the tires are pretty expensive.

Well from scouring the posts and looking at pics...

20" it is!! Just like the full wheel well and not needing it to ride sooooooooo low...lol

Now how much trouble will I have with H&R Drop? Rubbing issues?

Going gunmetal or hyperblack
