Hi Everyone,

Does anybody know what is the maximum rim size that I can fit to my 2005 Toyota Camry Grande MCV36R? On the placard drivers frame it states recommended tyre size: 205/60/R16 92H and rim size 6JJ

I have tried a set of 20" x 8.5" Advanti's at a tyre shop here in perth but when the new rim was placed on the rear wheel, it didn't fit! It touches against the strut/spring section in the wheel wall. It was recommended by the wheel rep.

Ian diffens website have a wheel selector app, after entering my car details 2005 Toyota camry, it recommended wheel sizes of 19" x 8.5" as suitable?

On Bob Janes virtual wheel app, the largest wheel suitable i could find was a 19"x8" wheel size.

Has anyone changed their stock wheels to something bigger, without having to modify their suspension?

Please let me know...I am curious about other camry owners who have upsized!

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards!

Matt =)

Insurance wise your not suppose to have anything wider then 7 inch...

I have seen the following sizes on the Gen 5 (without mods).

18 X 7.5 (Kappa)

18 X 8

19 X 7.5

19 X 8 (these were rubbing when turning corners)

Also, what you need to be careful of when having wider rims is that you could change the distance of the wheel track which can be illegal, plus non- standard tye size will alter the speedometer reading.

Hey there TRD850

I have a white Camry Sportivo 05/06 I changed my standard alloy rims for a set of 18 x 8 CSA Motovaters I have low profile rubber wrapped around them keeping the overall size of the wheel/tyre close to the original size, but as the rim is bigger it looks great.

I was told that I could have gone up to 19 x 8 ( by Bob Jane's too!) but another tyre store, that I have used for a long time, told me of the issues of rubbing when turning also the tyres for the19 x 8 were very expensive.

Good luck

Mike

For reference, on my Gen5 I had rubbing issues running 18x8 Advanti wheels on superlow springs. I had to have the rear guards rolled. I had the front guards rolled as well but there is enough clearance there to kill a small elephant.

Unless you're really keen on going bigger and thus changing a few things around, i.e. rolling guards, then its probably best to stick with either 18 x 8 or 18 x 7.5, I've got 18 x 7.5 and they fill out the guards a lot better than the 17s from stock, though there is plenty of space and I want to move to coilovers in the future. As Andrew said with lowering most likely the guards will need rolling, which isn't the biggest issue but if you don't want to modify then stick with 18s, as mentioned the tyres will be much cheaper too :) Plus there is a lot of choice in both wheels and tyres in that range too ;)

I wouldn't go any bigger than 18"x7.5 with 225/40/18" tyres.

18x8" with 235/40/18" tyres will fit on the Gen5 no problem. They won't scrub on King Low springs but I had scrub issues on superlow springs.

ah ok, learn something new every day..

just out of curiosity how far do the low kings lower the body?

Kings say the low springs will drop them 30mm all round; but my Sportivo only dropped about 25mm in the front and about the same in the rear.

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k
