And 5x114.3 is the only size ur gen4 will fit.

^ You mean bolt pattern. The size of the wheel can range from 15-20 inches (needs major modifications).

[asheik9201987]

so as long as the bolt size for the wheel is 5x114.3 then the wheel will fit? cuz i'm lookin for a 16 or 17 inch wheel? and i won't need to modify anything right?
thanks again for all ur help

as long as the bolt pattern is 5x114.3, you should be fine.

if ur going with 17" rims, you would need to see if the width of the tire will scratch the struts, etc. i.e. 225/45/17
225 is the width of the tire that is in contact with the road.
45 is the height of tire from the rim to the part of of the tire that touches the road.
17 is the 17" rim size.

PM some of the guys who have a 17" on TN and they are usually very helpful. There is one dude, camrygarcia who has a 17", that I know of. I think cman2000 also has a 17" on a Gen4.

all the best..

I have 17x7.5 rims with a +35 offset and 225/45/17 tires. I had rubbing against the rear struts once I upgraded the suspension to coilovers; corrected with H&R spacers. The Camry's ideal offset ranges from 35-43 I believe.
