18" playa wire rims "FWD/RWD"

sup every one quick question...I got a 94 camry v6 and I got some 18" playa wire rims with some low pro's on them...Does it matter that my car is FWD and I'm not sure if the rims are for FWD...does it matter? is there a way to fit them? I also have some adapters for these rims...would I need spacers or a special type of adapter? Thanks for all and any help

well as long as the rims offset are +40 and less ie. +38,37,36,35 you should be okay!

if it is higher you will need spacers to push it out from rubbing the struts inside.

Wire rims? U do know they only look good on low-lows right? On all other cars it either looks gay, ghetto or rice.

Dude, you bought your 'rimz' before you knew whether they fit your car? Any good shop should be able to tell you what will fit on your car... What the others have said above is true. You are looking for a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with an offset around 40. Find out more information in the future before spending so much money!!

-Charlie

(to answer the question you asked: often rims designed for a FWD car will not work on a RWD and vice versa... but that is not always the case, so you need to know what your car requires (listed above) and the specs of the wheels you are buying)

Hmmm... I wonder why I would have thought you bought them?

Get the info on your wheels and we can tell you if they will likely fit!

Contact who ever your going to buy them with and ask them. Can someone photochop wirerims on a camry? As i recall i saw wire rims on a Civic and it looked ricey/ ugly as hell...But if thats ur style, go for it man. How much are they anyways? Cause if you gave me a price range i could prolly find you some pretty good performance looking rims.

Look on the inside of the rim. There is a good chance its stamped in there. 8.5" rims will be hard to fit, but they might work.
