got rims in the wrong offset what should i do

[atobe]

well i have a gen2 camry the stock offset is like 38 i think i got some rims that has 55 offset and obviouly it doesn't fit cause it hits my strut... so i went to the rim shop i asked them about it they told me i can get some wheel adapters which is like 150$ A PAIR. that's 300$ for the whole set... i was wondering if there's anything i can do... get some spacers and longer lug nuts?

[yosh]

If it rubs the strut then spacers will help. H&R makes hubcentric spacers and they come with longer wheel studs. They have 5mm, 15mm, and 25mm. A set comes with two so you may have to order 2 sets depending on which wheels are rubbing.
I got mine from here:

get the right wheels

well i bought them from japan so i can't return em anyways... i was just hoping for a cheaper solution i guess i'll have to save up then

[yosh]

Just get two pairs of 15mm or 20mm H&R spacers thats $220 or $230 respectively. Would you rather get a new set of wheels?

i'll have to save up for it i'm poor at the moment i bought too many parts for my car

Tell us what u bought and with pics

[atobe]

ok i'll show you guys what i bought.


the list of things...
bbs rims of course
2 sets of headlight conversions. (1 of them i bought for someone else)
folding rear view mirrors
digital cluster (which will never work because it came from a RHD camry+no wiring harness)
other small misc stuff like trunk badge and stuff.
^^ all above is from japan.

sub+amp+misc wires for it
intrax lowering springs which is not in the picture(in the garage for the last 3 months)

on the note of offset for rims, i also have a gen 2 camry and am wondering what the exact offest for rims would be? thank you for the help

I don't trust spacers... just sell the rims and get a different set

The H&R spacers are hubcentric so no dangerous vibrations. I had to put on 15mm spacers after I upgraded my suspension and its been fine.


EDIT: just saw the pic of the rims, beautiful choice

[skewe]

spacers are OK.

have it on my rear of my gen4

5/16 inch.

[atobe]

the exact offset is 38.... anyone know what size the hubs are ? i'll take off my tire tomorrow and find out if no one knows

[blkdmnrcing]

so if i bought a rim with a 40 offset, would that work?

[atobe]

yeah 40 is fine
