Gen5 think about getting new rims

I recently bought a 03 Camry and is thinking about putting on some bigger rims and tires. i was looking at getting these rims and a set of 225/45/18 tires. now I’m not too clear on the process, I have read some of the post and believe these should fit without rub and I would not need spacers or anything (i hope). However people are telling me the rims might not match because of center cap size difference and lug nut size??? What size lug nuts should I get and what is the process to buying rims and tires and making sure it fits

Those rims will fit.

Generally the numbers you want to look at are the rim width and the offset. If you're between +35 - +45 offset, depending on what width the rim is, you'll be fine. If your car is lowered you may have to roll you rear fenders with +35 to avoid rubbing.

As stated above you lug pattern is 5 x 114.3

For example, my rims (see sig pic) are 19x8 +48 offset, and i'm lowered, so i rolled my fenders to prevent rubbing.

that's the tire size, it'll fit -- if you lower it, you'll rub like there's no tomorrow.

if I were you go 215/ 40/ 18

I have coils, and they rub like a bitch -- but since i've shaved my rear fenders, it's not that bad anymore.

those choices will be fine...

you won't rub, and for lugs you'll need 12x1.5.

lower your car

^ and the offset and width works..........not JUST the lugs you have to worry about.

what your tire size?

and if you lower -- you're going to rub if you're on coils... they push your offset out just a few mm more, I have 225/45/18's and they rub like hell if they are not 2 finger height, but luckily -- handling at 2 finger height is WAY better than 1 or tucked.
