There are links in the threads to a tire/wheel calculator. Tire rack also has one. You need to keep the overall diameter of the combo to the same ( or as close as possible) as the OEM. Going up in diameter should pose no clearance probles with brake hardwear. You should use the same positive offset as the OEM's.
 
Beware if you buy off the new, I saw some wheels with the 5x100 bolt diameter and they said it fit the camry. may have fit the old ones, but not the new ones. The 5x100 fits my son's Tc or my daughters Corolla. There was a good looking set of wheels last week on eBay but after contacting the seller it seems you had to use a 3mm spacer if you used them on the Camry.
 
If you buy a combo off of one of the big retailers they will give you what you need.
 
Don't forget too, you'll need to get something that your TPMS sensors's will fit. Several of the Toyota OEM 17" tire/wheel combos that came off Camry SE's are reasonably priced, but you'll spend $60 to $100 getting the sensors reinstalled and wheels rebalanced. I'd do this at a Toyota garage!. I did my Expedition at a gas station and they broke the sensor stem. Fortunately I had the pieces and convinced the Ford garage that it "just broke" and wasn't abused. If not I would have had to pay for a new sensor ($75 to $100). Ford replaced it under warranty.

License plate lights by heathinsd

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the license plate lights out on the TCH with the ones from the Lexus counterpart? The Lexus GS, I think that's the model equivalent to the Camry, has awesome ultra-white LEDS (maybe?) that look really cool. Thank you!!

LED systems typically run in conjunction with a controller, and usually don't just interchange without adaptors, etc. Same for regular headlamps and HID's.
 
You really want to make your plate easier to read by Cops?

rscotts....Have you received an answer to your question regarding the color match mud guards? I have looked for them for my daughter's 2007 white camry and have not found them. We only have found the black ones, as well.

i bought my blue mudguards from this site...i found them to be the cheapest...due to a handicap...i had the dealer install them...i asked them how much was i saving...she said about 20.00...which i thought was great...it cost more to install than to purchase...but it was worth it...it looks great...i am going to 18" wheels as soon as i can find a buyer for my 16's...here is the web site http://www.trdparts4u.com/MC-CDCE-DA.aspx

Rear mud guard installation by fredo48

Has anyone installed rear mud guards without first removing tire, as there are holes that have to be drilled?
 
Thanks,
 
Fred
