Any abjections to new Wheel/Springs Combo

I have a proposed setup for my 09 camry I4

Curent Facts: 5 speed trans, base LE, 16' steelies, 2nd car but daily driver now, mostly interstate miles but spirited on the weekends.

Proposed new Setup Goals: Improved handling, stock/modified stance, better road feel, decreased wheel/tire weight.

Concerns: comfort and tracking on interstate, MPG, harsh ride, rubbing!

Proposed new Setup: H&R springs, Enkei GTC-01, +35 offset 18x8 (17.8 lb) 225/45/R18.

Please give feedback, 2k budge, open for any additional equeptment to exceed my goals and conerns. Thanks, Will

since you seem like you're interested in handling, go for a strut bar and a sway bar.

Since the OP wanted a smooth ride, H&Rs are better. Going with a strut and/or sway bar will make your ride more harsh, but it will dramatically improve handling characteristics.

tein springs are not bad at all.. if the OP will do 225/45/18's it will look like his riding on stock suspension. i know coz i had the same setup.

but if the OP wants h&R springs i have some for sale LOL

@kenny just pm'ed you

You may need to look into aftermarket lugnuts, the stock lugs most likely will not fit aftermarket rims, project kic's or ray's duraluminum are forged so they are strong and light but a little more expensive and they come with wheel locks.

Sounds good to me.

And yeah, you'll be need hubcentric rings, don't get aluminum ones, and tuner lugs. I like the simple tuner style spline drive lugs, not aluminum ones or racing ones that can crack if overtorqued. I've even seen project KIC lugs crack in half due to simpe torquing with a torque wrench.
