hoebag are you sure a 9.5 will fit in the rear? Is your rear flared or widebody? Im pretty sure 9.5 won't work. And it would prob be better to get the same size all around in order to rotate and get better tire wear. Just my 2 cents. Let us know how it turns out.

I have a feeling you will not get the 9.5 on the back wheels. I have the sc wheels with 8 inch width with a spacer and they barely fit. Another inch and a half sounds like a bad idea. I Love these wheels, I would put these on my ES if i had a darker metallic color because I wouldnt put chrome on my color car. They're pretty cheap and classy at the same time. Always on EBAY.

Hoebag do you have any pics? I'd like to see that. Also are you doing it just for looks? Cause it doesnt really make any sense to put wider tires and rims on the back of a front wheel drive car.

edit: also what are the offsets of the rims?

My last car before this was a 94 es300. And just because i don't have one right now doesn't mean that I can't read about them and gain more knowledge for future purchases. I'm sure there are alot of people in cl who don't even own a toyota or a lexus. I've learned alot since the past 2 mos. that I have been browsing the forum.

didnt have a real camera when we test fitted them, my friend took some pics with his phone, hes waitin to get a new data cable so he can upload em

yea i know it doesnt make sense.. they just look sick, thats all i really care about

dont know the front offset, but the rear offset is a custom offset - 17, with a 4 inch lip

ill get pics as soon as possible though


btw... i like the color of your camry, looks a lot like the color of my friends civic hatchback, good choice

Thanks for the compliment. I got the color idea after seeing bluelex' gs, thats a sweet ride. I just had to have that color. The paint's only a couple of days old.

Hoebag,

TRDMCV20 brings up a good point. I understand a staggered setup with RWD, but how will the driving dynamics be with FWD?

Also, I'm curious to know how you're going to work with a +17mm offset? What are you modifying to make everything fit?

Good luck and post pics soon...

Look I don't know what the heck is going on around the ES forum, but if I get one more PM about personal attacks etc etc, I will be issuing warnings.

Act like some adults please. And Camry members and any car members are more than welcome here.

Onto a staggered setup on FWD, that is a no, no. Staggered is a functional thing for RWD cars. It allows more tire onto the rear, where the power delivery is. Staggered on FWD serves no purpose and you will get bashed for it. On the Acura boards, a couple guys did it and got FLAMED BADLY. It makes no sense on a FWD car.

is that the same 3 layer paint job like the one lexus cars are painted? if so, then it must have cost a lot. nice color!
