my concern would bewith it lovered clearing speedbump and frost heaves, which could reak havic with items such as ur exhaust

 

i had a lil fun with the pic i dont plan on going that low. i dont think ill b going with the tire tucking but id like the huge ass gap in between to go away.

 

better get airbags ... or really good coilovers


gonna have to cut and/or roll your fenders ... will probably need camber adjustments as well ... and some self-justifications as to why youre driving a Camry Donk :lol:

 

well its an automatic camry.. a 4cylinder at that. so it would not be a good idea to go for the racing look lol and i love chrome wheels. big chrome wheels.

 

im realllyyyy wanting to go that low. just looking at this pic compared to the actual ride height. im thinking bags and just slam it when parked.. and keep it high driving

 

:headbang::headbang::headbang:

 

to each their own:smokin:

 

i think maybe getting lowering springs and cutting the fenders sound logical to fix the problem.

 

get coilovers and call it a day. i went through 2 springs and wasn't satisfied. wasted my money before my CO's lol.

 

hmm

IMO Camry's are just not the right ride to be putting 20's on. Besides all the mechanical hurdles, It just wouldn't look correct. The Cam is too small. Save these for the SUV's and big Chrysler late model behemoths. Just my opinion.

 

first of all how wide are those wheels? thats gonna make a big difference if ya can lower or not. im gonna say airbags are gonna be the only safe bet. with wheels that big your gonna want to be able to easily control the ride hight. you can control it with coil overs but not easily. depending on the width of those things even 1 inch is gonna be hard to live with a a daily basis.

 

they are 20x8.5 with 225/35/20 tires

 

those are way too big for anything ... can you give the Wheel Brand, Model and the Offset?

first of all, your tires are too big i do believe - the overall wheel/tire diameter is like 2" oversized [if its a 4cyl you should be running 235/25-20 or 225/30-20]

second of all, with a 8.5" wide wheel + the tire, there is no doubt in my mind that not only will you be rolling all inner fender ... you will have to pretty much bash in the fender liner, and probably pull the fender lip out some too!

third of all, you really shouldnt even bother messing around with lowering springs at this point - you need something with adjustability (be it coilovers or air ride) because you dont want to end up with an initial setup that doesnt work and not have the ability to adjust it on the fly

 

im with venom on this. those are gonna be hard to lower on since they are so wide.

 

i understand and thats why i asked if its possible. i didnt say i was going to try it right away.

 

You need a lift kit. For the donk approach, what I'm seeing more here around certain areas of Atlanta is making your car look like a box of cereal or common household cleaner. Perhaps MR CLEAN vinyl is needed. Lift first. :smokin:


:lol:

 

he wants to slam it NOT lift it

 

i found a site a while back where u could rent a fender lip roller...found some places to buy them too... which would help with that part

 

It is totally doable. BUT it requires a lot of custom work. Talk to shops that customize trucks that lay their frame rails on the ground. They typically have air bags, but that's only 1/2 of the story. They require cutting of the frame. And although the Camry doesn't have a "frame".....a lot of cutting and welding will be required to make 20" x 8.5" wheels fit coupled with the slam you're after.

 

should've got the Gen6 Join the KTG club!

 

I wish I hadn't even clicked on this topic. Everyone has their own individual tastes, but THAT is definitely not to MY tastes. I'm thinking "Why are you ruining your car and making it look like a piece of ghetto trash?"
but maybe I shouldn't have even said that.

Trying to set aside my extreme dislike of oversized rims and a lack of adequate ground clearance, I can say
that you're too close to the hard limit already. You can't get away with lowering the car at this point unless you never intend to drive it again. Tires will rub and scrape at the SLIGHTEST bump in the road.

He's right and wrong. You can drive it as a daily. But be prepared to do a lot of sideways action and scrapage. It all depends on how low you're planning to go... Here are two extreme examples.

If you do want to go wide on your Gen camry, you must pull and roll the fenders... If I were you, especially with 20's, I'd just drop it enough so the there is 1/2 to 1 finger gap between tires and fender. Anything lower, be prepared to pay for it.

If you really want to slam your car, especially since from your pshop picture I see that you want it to be slammed, its possible. But then again, be prepared to cut fender liner, roll/pull fenders, and maybe get different tires. Depending on the 8.5 width of your rim, you might need slightly stretched tires... Just be prepared to get..

1) coilovers / airride (800$ - $2500)
2) roll pull fenders ($50 - $150)
3) maybe camber your wheels a bit more negative. I had to go a bit extreme in my negative camber to fit my wheels in. My camber kit was included with my coilovers. (camber kit included with your coilovers or camber arm* ebay 50-70 bucks)
4) last resort if you still rub, stretched tires. Chances are, after you did the last three, you won't rub.

Good luck if you do go this route. But as cmjohnson said, it might be tough getting around. All depends on how low and how much money you want to spend to go that low.

 

Peach you know the Gen 3 and Gen 6 fender wells are pretty different, right? just saying...

 

A lot of newbies in here trying to say "how" and "what to do", when you didn't even research or do the job yourselves...... makes me laugh!

Kids, don't compare the Gen6 to the 3 or 4 or vice versa.


To the OP, YES, you can slam your gen4 on those big trash can lids you have on, it will not look slammed though, but if you are serious, PM and I'll lead you through the correct way in doing things.

I get tired of kids' thinking just because they read stuff on-line or they paid someone to install or do shit for them that means they are knowledgeable... ha.

I thought we weren't allowed to swear except in OT. I guess if you feel that strongly about it "poo" [edited] is the appropriate language.

 

Nice ride...
