Gen5 Newbie Question: Will my Mazda wheels fit on my Toyota?

I've recently acquired a 2004 Toyota Camry LE-V6. This car was a replacement for my recently totaled 2005 Mazda MPV. I'm in Pittsburgh so I run snow tires in the winter. My Mazda had a separate set of winter tires/wheels. I still have this set of winter tires/wheels and want to know if I can run them on my Toyota Camry.

Here's the details:

Mazda Wheel/Tire Specs:
Steel Wheel
Bolt pattern - 5-114
Center bore - 67
Offset - 50
205/70/15 tires

Toyota Camry OEM Specs:
Bolt pattern - 5-114
Center bore - 60
Offset - 46
205/65/15 tires

The center bore is a bit bigger, but I'm not sure if they make 7mm hubring for steel wheels.
The Offset is a bit deeper. Again, do they make a 4mm spacers for steel wheels?
Do I even need this stuff?

So... Can I run these wheels unmodified without concern?
Would these Mazda wheels cause any change in the suspension physics or overly stress my Toyota suspension?
Or, must I find appropriate spacers/hubrings? If so, please recommend a source.
Or, should I just try and sell the Mazda wheels and start over with Camry OEM sized wheel?
What about the tires? Would the 0.8" height increase cause any problems?

Thanks so much for any help.

honestly, i would just start over with Camry OEM sized wheels. steel wheels are fairly inexpensive, and the simplicity of just bolting the wheels on would be a plus.

dealing with spacers and hubcentric rings is rather annoying IMO, not to mention the potential for vibration problems are much worse.

however, if you did not want to spend that much (new wheels, dismounting/mounting tires, that stuff adds up!) i would at the minimum get hubcentric spacers. they will eliminate most vibration problems that can occur with mounting a different sized center bore wheel on the camry.

you can get hubcentric rings from:
amazon amazon


I can't say for sure whether or not you need spacers for the offset, but 4 mm doesn't seem like a huge difference. you might be ok without them. easiest way to check is to test fit the mazda winter wheels on the camry!
