for the camry, 15s are wayyy too small, and 16s are also too small....the best looking wheels are 18s, but 17s are almost as good w/ "better" performance.......

but basically speaking, if you want the car to look better, get 17s or larger.......if you want to just go cheap and get 16s, look for some stock camry se rims which should be 16s
Just a note on the rim size - when going for anything larger than 16 you will feel a lot more of the road. Good for handling, bad for comfort, especially on city streets' potholes.

I have 17x7 rims with 215/50 tires and they fit fine. Offset of the rims is also important and should be about 42mm. The bolt pattern should match too, which is I think 5x114 (?)

If he's not looking for extreme handling, 16 are probably OK. Just go to tirerack.com for one of the best places to get tire/wheel combo. You might find somewhat cheaper deals on discounttiredirect.com - also a good place. Both places have tire calculators and explain how to "up-size". You'll probably need new lugnuts too (which generally come with the wheel package)

One last note. The guy said "I want to get tall tires (80 milimiters at least) so" - if he means the sidewall, that's one bad tire tha won't fit - the diameter would be too big...
