Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
Hey guys...little background on my car: It's a 2009 Silver Camry I4 and it has a 2.5" drop with the solara TEIN springs. I'm looking to get some nice wheels to fill in the HUGE wheel-well.
Anyways...I've done searches on here and nobody has these wheels and I really like both of them...I'm torn between the two. Can someone photoshop these wheels on my car so I can see what they look like? And also give me your opinions!
Choice 1: MRR HR3 20" x 8.5"
Choice 2: MRR HR4 20" x 8"
And here is my car Nothing crazy but she does need some new wheels, lol.
Thanks guys...and dont forget to give me your opinion!

Reason: better title
20s are pushing it on this car. You might have to roll the fenders like crazy. There might be some issues with rubbing. I've checked it out myself on your car, and the first one will look good.
i can't do the photoshop right now but i would say the 2nd choice for 2 reason: they are 20x8.0 so with 225/35/20 tires you should see no rubbing as long as offset is correct and 2 i like spoked rims like those more on camrys.

I talked to the wheel guy and he said for the HR3"s (20" x 8.5") he would have do shave down the offset to make it work. He apparently spoke with someone at MRR and thats what they told them to do in order to make them work with my 2.5" drop.
He said the HR4's would work either way. Thats why I'm stuck. I think both wheels are sexy!

Choice 2 would ofcourse be the logical wheel to buy. But I think they BOTH look good. I agree and think that spoked wheels look good on the camry...but I want to make sure the HR3's wouldnt look better, ya know?
final setup:
20x9.5 +35F, 225/35/20
20x9.5 +30R, 225/35/20
-1.xx camber front
-2 camber rear
coilover stiffness:
stiffest in the front
half stiff on the rears, but will increase so to lessen dipping.
there's a good half inch to 1 inch in the rear tires that don't make contact with the roads anymore. (due to camber)
tire stretch is decent, not too much, but just enough to fit the tires in. just have to drive a bit more careful on ramps and entry-ways.
fitment is bang-on. poking on both front and rear.
on the first choice, regardless of offset that MRR offers, you should be able to make them fit.
20x8.5 +35 to +45 will work, and tires from 225/35/20 to 245/30(or 35)/20.
oh, and btw, my last camber was recorded at -3.75 for the rear and -2.95 in the front.
offsets were lower than posted above. and final drop was around a 4" lowering.
don't make the wheels fit the car. make the car fit the wheels. roll, shave or pull!
Wow...but moky you're running on 9.5" wide wheels front and rear????!!!! DAMN!
The wheel guy said MRR said essentially there should be no rubbing with Choice 1 (8.5")...but the wheel guy was still worried, lol. Which made me worry.
So did anyone get a chance to photoshop those pics yet?? I'm really eager to see what they look like!
i hate seeing people say that wheels will rub just because they are 20s or 19s or etc....
get the 20x8.5s, roll your fender.. be happy.
DO NOT let anyone shave down the offset (modify wheel)...that's one of the stupidest ideas i've heard today.
They said either the rear or front wheels (I forget) has a 38mm offset and they would shave it down to make sure of correct fitment. They would have to send it out to be done. I dunno.
With the 20 x 8.5's...do you think I will DEFINETLY have to roll the fenders?
