The standard tire size for Camry 40 does not depend on the modification and engine power. The Russian market offers cars with aluminum alloy wheels with a diameter of 16 inches and tires size 215/60. The design of the wheel arches allows the installation of larger wheels and a reduced tire profile height.

Alloy wheel sizes for Camry 40

When selecting cast or stamped elements for the Camry V40, it is necessary to take into account the location of the mounting studs on the hubs (bolt pattern). The machines use 5 studs, symmetrically located on a circle with a diameter of 114.3 mm. To fix the wheel, closed M12x1.5 mm nuts with a conical part are used to ensure the centering of the parts.

When selecting disks, you should take into account the bolt pattern and the size of the central hole (60.1 mm). When using non-standard elements with a larger hole, adapter rings are appropriate.

Standard devices

Factory 16-inch parts are high-pressure die-cast from high-impact aluminum alloy. The mounting holes are machined, the surface of the element is covered with a layer of glossy varnish that prevents metal oxidation. The part has 7 symmetrical spokes, the rotation of which ensures cooling of the brake mechanisms and removal of wear products.

The central hole is covered with a decorative plastic cap with the Toyota plant emblem.

Main parameters:

• width - 6.5 inches;
• disc offset - 45 mm;
• drilling - 5x114.3 mm.

Non-standard dimensions

Parts with non-standard dimensions may be used on vehicles:

1. Molded 17″ with 7″ width and 50mm offset. There are original parts that were used on Camry V40 vehicles supplied to the North American and Middle Eastern markets.
2. The pieces measure 18" with a 45mm offset and a 7.5" width. The plant supplied cars with such discs to the North American market.
3. Cast 19" with offset reduced to 37mm and width increased to 8". Manufactured by third-party companies, they are chrome plated and designed to use low-profile rubber. Before use, you must ensure that the wheels are compatible with the arches, since when turning or driving on uneven roads, contact between the tire and body elements is possible.

Drive Selection Options

Let's consider the main selection parameters. Manufacturer's recommendations can be found in the instructions for your car.

• Rim diameter – most often motorists call this the size of a Toyota Camry wheel. Measured in inches. Shows the diameter of the ring part of the wheel on which the tire is directly attached.
• Rim width - the choice is made on the basis that this indicator should be 25% less than the width of the tire.
• The number of mounting holes and their diameter - the value of this parameter is included in the disc marking under the PCD code. Measured in millimeters. Motorists may be familiar with this characteristic called Toyota Camry wheel bolt pattern.
• Center hole diameter – the value of this parameter must match the diameter of the axle hub. In the disc labeling it is indicated under the DIA code.
• Disc offset – determines the distance between the disc mounting plane and the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the rim. In the labeling it can be seen under the code ET. The recommended overhang is not exceeding 10 mm from the established standard.

In principle, even wheels that are not quite suitable can be adjusted to the characteristics of your car if you drill Toyota Camry wheels. A prerequisite is that the work must be performed by a specialist who is guaranteed to be able to achieve an ideal result.

Don't skimp on buying discs. And do not put the external characteristics of the car above your own safety while traveling. Choose the right wheels for Toyota Camry v40!

• 8J - width in inches;
• 19 — external dimension in inches;
• 5/114.3 - bolt pattern;
• ET37 — offset in mm;
• d60.1 - size of the central channel in mm.

Camry V40 cars use tubeless pneumatic tires marked 215/60 R16 99V:

• 215 — tread width in mm;
• 60 — profile height in % of the tread width;
• R16 - landing size;
• 99 — load capacity (determined from tables);
• V is the permissible speed index (determined from tables).

How to choose the right wheels and tires

Basic selection rules:

1. The external dimensions of the wheel rim and the mounting size of the tire must be the same.
2. The location of the mounting holes must match the position of the studs on the vehicle's hub. It is prohibited to re-drill holes in an aluminum element offset relative to the standard channels, since the mechanical strength of the parts is reduced.
3. If the diameter of the central channel is larger than the element on the hub, then it is necessary to select a centering ring, which is made of plastic or metal. If the adapter sleeve is installed correctly, the running characteristics do not change. If vibration is felt when moving, you should check the correct selection and installation of the ring.
4. When selecting a disk, it is necessary to take into account the maximum static load, which is not indicated in the marking. Information is available in the product passport or on the manufacturer’s website. Factory products are designed for a load of 690 kg; the use of parts with a reduced rating is prohibited. If this requirement is violated, the cast element may be destroyed when driving on an uneven road.
5. When selecting custom parts, the X-factor should be taken into account when the element clings to the brake caliper or suspension. The factor depends on the design features of the disk and production technology. For example, there may be amplifiers on the spokes that do not interfere with installing the product on the hub, but will cling to the brake caliper when rotating.
6. The standard tire size on a Toyota Camry is 215/60R16; the design of the suspension and wheel arch is not designed for the use of tires with a tread width of more than 225 mm. When installing non-standard wheels, 215/55 R17, 225/45 R18 or 225/40 R19 tires are used. Reducing the profile height allows you to maintain the outer diameter and ensures the correct operation of the speedometer (measurement is carried out by an electronic sensor based on the number of revolutions of the secondary shaft in the gearbox).

Types of disks for Toyota Camry

Wheels for Toyota Camry v50 according to the material of manufacture are divided into steel and light alloy. Each type has its own characteristics and advantages, so it is impossible to say for sure which one is better. Also, attention should be paid to the method of making the disc.

Steel wheels

Such discs are made by stamping parts from a single sheet of steel. Next, the parts are connected by welding. The main advantages of a steel wheel on the Toyota Camry v40 are affordable price, durability, and the ability to be restored after serious damage. Disadvantages - simple design, the need to apply an anti-corrosion coating, possible difficulties when balancing the wheels.

Alloy wheels

Such wheels on Toyota Camry are made using aluminum or magnesium alloys. It is worth noting that this type has a higher price compared to steel ones. However, the cost is fully justified by the quality and consumer characteristics. Advantages - the ability to implement any design solution, low weight, more efficient operation of the suspension as a whole.

• How to choose the right tires for a car?

Alloy wheels can be cast or forged. Cast ones are made by pouring liquid alloy into a special mold. If you look at the photos of rims on the Toyota Camry v50, you will see that the choice of shapes and designs is truly impressive. However, such discs are susceptible to the formation of microcracks, which soon lead to the destruction of the wheel. Forged slav wheels are more resistant to mechanical shocks. However, the choice of design solutions is slightly less than that of cast ones. And the price is higher.

Why is it important to correctly determine the required parameters of Toyota Camry wheels?

Some motorists install wheels of the largest possible size on Toyota Camry. This variation looks quite attractive and allows you to slightly increase the ground clearance, but in the end you have to sacrifice the height of the tire profile. As a result, the load on the suspension increases and travel comfort decreases. And when the car is heavily loaded, the tires can rub against the arches, which leads to their rapid wear and significantly reduces driving safety.

When installing smaller rims, you can choose tires with a higher profile - the ride will be softer and more comfortable. But driving the car will become much more difficult, especially when cornering and traveling at high speed. The resulting advantages clearly do not compensate for the emerging disadvantages of such a replacement.

The best option is to install original Toyota Camry wheels. Or choose parts that, in terms of their parameters, fully comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations for a specific car model.

The best manufacturers

Some of the best summer tire brands suitable for the Camry V40 include:

1. Yokohama Bluearth ES32 215/60 R16 99V, designed for driving on paved roads. Designed for a load of up to 775 kg, which allows you to operate the car with a trailer. The permissible speed is up to 240 km/h (above the dynamic capabilities of the machine). The rubber is stable on dry and wet surfaces, but at air temperatures above +30°C, road grip deteriorates.
2. Pirelli Cinturato P7 215/60 R16 99H, designed for speeds up to 210 km/h. It is distinguished by its increased softness of the composition (does not harden at an air temperature of +3°C), does not make noise when driving and smoothes out unevenness of the road surface. The disadvantage is the weak side part; when hitting curb stones, the cord is destroyed.
3. Continental Conti Premium Contact 5 215/60 R16 95V, characterized by a reduced load capacity of 690 kg. Provides good handling, but is damaged when the sidewall hits curbs or uneven road surfaces. Not suitable for driving on wet ground or grass: the shallow tread becomes clogged with dirt and prevents the car from moving.
4. Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 215/60 R16 95H, designed for speeds up to 210 km/h. The load should not exceed 690 kg. The tire is insensitive to ruts and reduces fuel consumption. It is not designed for sharp maneuvers and turns. At speeds above 150 km/h, the car begins to sway and “float” along the road.

For winter operation of the Camry V40, non-studded or studded tires with dimensions 215/60 R16 are used.

Winter tires are made of a special material designed for reduced driving speeds. For example, the product Dunlop Winter Maxx WM01 215/60 R16 99T (without studs) can withstand speeds of up to 190 km/h. Its load capacity is 775 kg.
