Need Help please, buying wheels

[Jorgeo]

I have no knowledge when it comes to wheels or tyres, so buying has become a headache.

I have spent a long time searching this site but there is so much info im findig it hard getting a simple answer.

what I want are 19s or 20s without mods, I found some nice wheels {race spec RS-X 19x8.5 photo att} but was told 8.5 was to wide is this true? 19x8 will fit but they do not come in that size,

I have also been told tyres need to b 35 series if I get 19s, will this be to low profile and ruin the ride?

what I need to know is what size to ask for with 19s or 20s that will fill the wheel arches nicely and not ruin the ride, for eg will 245/45/19s be OK, or will I need lower profile.

I need to get wheels now as tyres are bold. my ride is a black ZR6.

thanks for any help.

Theres a number of threads with Similar questions...

8.5 inch will fit but you may have issue with insurance..

If you get 19 inch you will need 245/35/R19 93Y (From Memory) Im guessing this is the size thats used on the TRD Aurions

No too sure about 20's, but possibly 245/30s

thanks Ronnyboy that matches what the wheel shop dude has said. should i be asking about the offset which is +45 yes?

i was wondering would it be better to stay with 18s and lower the springs, would that handle better and be a smother ride then going bigger?

members personal experiences would be appreciated.

found this sight to be very useful with choosing wheels. http://vrimz.com/

would you be interested in my 17s for your camry

for anyone who is interested 20x8.5 fit, just. tyres are 225/35/20 you could go 245 on the rear and still be inside the guard.

insurance are ok with it, all they are concerned about is getting a higher premium. anyway glad that's over with, found it very hard choosing wheels I liked. ended up with advanti's, added a few pics.

Yes, +45 sounds about right.

Nice choice with the wheels :)

I have the the 17 Inch Toyota Vortex wheels on the Camry.(See below)

Keep your 17's as spare, you never know you might need them one day.....

I don't like the little CF bits at the ends of the spokes. Ruins the look IMO.
