Upgrading wheels, NEED HELP!!!

[SunnyD]

Hey i have just purchased a 2001 Camry Ce and will be recieving it sometime next weeks, but the hub caps have got to go! I'm not sure what tire size it is, but it has the 12 spoke caps and i believe they're 15".

I was just wondering if i purchased a set of 19x7.5 rims wrapped in 215/35/19 tires, would they fit? I know that the speedo will be off by only 2.2%, but would there be any rubbing? Do i need spacers? Do the fenders need to be rolled?


Thanks in advance,
Sunny

All these concerns you have are all legitimate, but all easily answerable with a little research. With the proper wheel offset and not going larger than 225-- Yes, they should fit and without any costly modifications. Although you might not like how it looks until the car is lowered, large wheel gap looks even worse with ultra low profile tires like the 35 series you mentioned. My suggestion is to look at your long term goals for your car. If its a daily driver I would say go with something a little less extreme, if your budget permits and you plan on going all out anyways (like for show purposes for example) then I say why not, I just caution you on the snowball effect of making such a drastic change to a car you have yet to drive. If you are looking to improve on performance in the future the 19's will definately slow you down, not to mention reduce ride quality. So I would say take your time, plan out exactly what you want to do to your car, then start looking for that wheel that you can't live without...Good Luck and post some pics of the car when you get it.

Hey thanks for the info guys! I'll post pics as soon as i recieve the car! This car will be a daily driver, i just hate hupcaps though! I'll most likely go with 18's and lower it a bit, unless i find 19's that i just can't live without!
