QUICK QUESTION will the SSR SP1 fit on my 08 camry with a TRD drop without rubbing or any issues? spec's i believe are 18x9.5 with a +22 offset. wrapped in some 245/40/18 tires. thanks

I'm 99.9999999% sure you will rub with those specs and a drop.

 

[b0r1cha]

alright thanks. thought i would give it a try. hahaha

 

[EnderSavesTheDa]

lol, unless your rip off your fenders =P

alright thanks. thought i would give it a try. hahaha

holy crap 22 offset!!! u will definitely rub. i looked at ur rim size. 18. oh okay not bad! he's going to drop it on 18s? okay not bad! his width is 9.5. ehh... but still, it can work! 245-40-18, not bad! But 22 offset?!?!?

lol yeah... rub-a-thon.

 

[b0r1cha]

yeah i know im total noob at knowing offsets and stuff. so what is a reasonable offset. like a rule of thumb. keeping in mind that i am dropped on TRD's. will a 18x7.5 with a 42 offset work?

 

[Epsilon]

^^ Yes.

 

[b0r1cha]

so wats the higest offset i can go and lowest i can go. does it depend on the width of the rim?

 

[Epsilon]

^^ Yup.

 

[b0r1cha]

ok well at least i know the c2's will fit... now tires size. wats a good size haha

 

[Epsilon]

225/45/18.

yes, offset does matter w/ width.

imo, 18x8 offset 35 looks the best.

im running 19x9.5 and 19x8.5

tire wise... prolly 18x8, 225/45/18, what wheel expert epsilon had said (since he had a bajillion rims on his car). Your car would look niceee.

so lemme get something straight real quick. the higher the offset the more in my rims will be? the lowwer the offset the more it'll stick out of the fenders? yes no?

yes. if u have a 40 offset, ur rim will be more tucked in than a 35 offset.

some VIP cars have +12 or even negative offsets. its ridiculous.

On our Gen6 camrys, don't go below a 35 offset and wider than 8.5. anything over is just crazy.

yes, i know i have a 9.5. Even my 8.5 +35 rim in the front, the rim sticks out of the car just a bit.

For a perfect flush, But for safety/rubbing issues, stay within the 8.0 8.5 width, and 35-40 offset.

Just to give you an idea, a previous active member on here with a Gen6 ran a 18x8.5 +30 with a TRD drop and he rubbed in the rear.

damn +30. rubbing might seem a bit fine, but trust me. it gets horrible as time passes. i rubbed on my previous 19s before.

 

[b0r1cha]

well, will the the 18x7.5 42 offset be tucked in a lot? cause i dont wanna make it look like its really tucked in. or will it look ok.

 

[Epsilon]

You can always get spacers for a more flush look.

I have 45 offset and I'm tucked in. I would like a 42 offset a little better.

Hey Akira, I noticed a while back you said something about you running 225's for your tires.

On wheelmax.com, all they have is "suggested" 235's for your particular rim. That shouldn't make a difference for fitment or rubbing issues if I ever decided to go with a drop?

Thanks for your info in advance :thumbup:
