What year Cam u got? That wud be a start. but 19"s on a Camry? U gonna be lookin at some good money, bout 200+ per tire. Im thinkin maybe some 245/45s. I wudnt go below 45 just for the fact that it wud make the ride suck more. Best place to check out wud be either www.tirerack.com or www.discounttiredirect.com . I check them for prices and size matches.

i would try to get around 235/35. i bet the 245 would rub unless some fender rolling and a PERFECT offset went along with the wheels. And a 45 height will prob be too big and will raise your car slightly with some 19 inch wheels.


Maybe ALEX can help you out hes got 19's with a drop.

Do you have any idea how slow your Camry would be with 245s?

Anything more than 8" on a Camry, is considered to be too wide. It offers absolutely no advantage over smaller sizes.

19x8.5 with 35mm offset will not fit, cuz when I was getting my 18x7.5 for my gen 3 the guy at wheelmax said that the offset was 35mm. and he told me if I get 225 tires, they would rud , so I went with 215.
