19" Tire Fitment on '07 Camry - Help!

[mikeynavy1976]

I posted this in another thread, but hoping to get some more folks with experience to chime in. I ordered some 19 x 8.5 wheels for my 2007 Camry SE, and was under the impression they would be +35mm offset. It turns out the size that was sent, based on the manufacturer recommendation for the car, was a +45mm offset. I'm going with a 245/40 19 tire, and currently at stock height (I might lower in the future but nothing definite). I tried to see about returning the wheels but the company wants a 30% restocking fee (ridiculous). The tires aren't here yet and the wheels are still boxed, yet I'm kinda screwed. My paranoia with the +45mm (even though it might allow me to lower without fender rolling) is whether a 245/40 tire will rub the strut on the inside of the wheel. When we test fit just the wheel on the back there was a finger gap (small finger mind you) between the strut and the edge of the rim. Will a 245/40 19 tire "stretch" enough to prevent rubbing on the inside? I can't test fit with the tire and wheel because they said they won't accept returns on either once mounted. One option I'm told is a 10mm spacer or whatever (although I think I'd need new lug bolts too) but that would cost as much, or more, than just paying the restocking fee and getting the +35mm wheels. Tires will be here Monday so any advice you guys can provide would be appreciated. Also, I know 235/40 19 is recommended but there isn't much selection and they cost A LOT more.

If its their fault for the misinformed offset, they should get the rims back and ship out the correct fitment, without charge. Keep yelling and b*tching at them until you get your rims.

If its your fault, you're crap out of luck lol. Best thing to do is get the 10mm wheel adapter and call it a day.

The +45 offset won't be as flush as the +35 but it will fit just fine.
19x8.5 +45 offset with 245-40-19 will fit just fine.
