i am looking for some rims for my 2005 camry. i want to get them big but also want not that bad of a ride. though about 19's. what do u guys think. anyonw knows where i can get some nice ones for cheap and what are the dimentions i shouild look for (offset and other things) I also have a I4, so will getting 19's be to heavy for the engine?

Seems like you ain't searching hard enough brotha. Search for these before you ask or state that you already searched around. All the topics you're asking us has already been covered many many times.

But for your question, I'll gladly help you out. The rim size doesnt' matter, it doesn't matter how big or how heavy it is. 19" rims, heavy on a camry is a joke. What you needs to worry about is if the rims and tires will rub against your springs or wheel well. Also, the width of the rim. All I know is that 17"x7 are a perfect fit for the Gen 5.5 camrys. 18x8 or 18x9 should be fine as long you make some room in the wheel well. As for the 19's those are a bit too big but they still will fit. It's just the problem with the wheel well that you have to solve. My $0.02

I personally think 19s are too big. They might affect your acceleration. I'd go with 18s. 225/45/18s would go nicely. But if you still want to go with 19s, do 19x7.5, i wider might rub.

i have 18's as well, best possible, and i do agree with kasimmmmmm get the 45 series rubber. 19s and 20s i feel are too big, and 17s look a bit small. 18 is ideal in my opinion.

offset is +38 for my rims, which is what the camry asks for if you go 18

bigdaddymike745 · 07-20-2005, 10:42 AM

how do u check what offset u have? is there a number on the rim or u have to measure something?

anyone know where to get "hot" rims

I put TRD lowering spings in mine as well as the TRD rear sway bar and its at borderline to being too bumpy for me so I stayed with 17's when I ordered my rims.

All junk. If you want "hot" rims, you have to pay to play.

Racing style: Volk, Work, Manaray, Advan, SSR (although they are not what they once were),ect.
VIP style: Junction Produce, Work (again), Carlsson, AME, Dronnell, ect.
Best form and function ($$$): iForged, HRE, ect.

And the Gen 5 has a huge body and will swallow up wheels. If you want them to look big without cartoonish, go with 19s. 18s should ahve been stock. 17s look puny.

Hey Hawkeye, I think you missed the joke.
