Default 20" wheel fitment...

Just some FYI...
I'm assuming that the ES350 and Camry SE would have the same fitment for wheels (but correct me if I'm mistaken)

and please don't flame me for this post (I'm just trying to help out) I understand that the ES/Camry platform is front wheel drive
and more of an luxury car but I think it looks sweet.

Not sure if anyone has done this before but we managed to properly fit
20 x 8.5 +44 with 245/35/20 (fronts)
20 x 9.5 +44 with 275/30/20 (rears) (the rears did need a 5mm spacer) so 9.5 + 49/50 would be perfect.
No rubbing issues at all. We will be installing a Eibach Pro Kit (.80" drop) later next month.

Hope this helps if you're in the market for wheels. I'm pretty sure you could fit some 20 x 10's with some streched 265's on the rear.

do you get rubbing issues if you go on speed bumps and all, since there is not much clearance left?

Being that the car is not lowered yet, there was alot of clearance but we did some pretty hard turns and freeway passes to see if there was any rubbing issues...there was no issues.
The rear rim / tire is pretty flush and with the 1" drop and a slightly negative camber, I'm positve it won't rub when lowered.

if you added a spacer to the rear, then the offset is actually a +39. the lower the number, the more pushed out it wil be.

p.s. even if staggering a FWD car is retarded, it still looks good.
