Winter is just the time when you should think about buying rims and tires for the warm season. My car came with standard Toyota R16 alloy wheels and Yokohama tires.
It was decided to use these disks in winter. Additionally, I bought Michelin X-Ice North 3 winter studded tires. As for the noise, it is present when driving, but not at all big. Any tire makes noise. Let me say briefly that the purchase was completely justified, although today it has risen in price by 20 percent from the price at which I bought it in October 2014. The crisis and inflation are doing their dirty work.
Looking through various thematic forums, I discovered that some Camry owners install as many as 20-inch wheels. There is no doubt that such a car looks very extravagant, but I am one of the drivers who try to stick to the factory parameters. Design decisions are still based on specific tests and accurate calculations, and it is not surprising that the wear life of suspension and consumables for cars with larger radius discs is significantly reduced. This is just my opinion, whoever likes it is not prohibited from betting, but it is not recommended either.
Below in the article I will give the factory parameters of wheels and tires. Perhaps it will be useful to someone. I was guided by the purchase of wheels and tires precisely according to these parameters.
Parameters of standard wheels Toyota Camry V50
Toyota 16R standard wheels
| Photo | Disc Width (inch) | Bolt pattern (number of holes and diameter in which they are located) | Departure (ET) | Diameter (DIA) | Original disc number in the catalog | Tires |

| Toyota 17R standard wheels | 7J | 5 x 114.3 | 45 | 60.1 | 42611-33860 | 215/55 R17 |
There are also standard 18R wheels, but they are produced only for Toyota Camry for use in the United States, and a variant of R19 wheels for tuning. Their parameters are shown in the table below. Of course, there are also various options for wheels and tires, but again, this is all at the discretion of the driver. I have given only those provided by the manufacturer.
| Disk | Radius | Disc Width (inch) | Bolt pattern (number of holes and diameter in which they are located) | Departure (ET) | Center Hole Diameter (DIA) | Original disc number in the catalog | Tires |
| only for Camry USA | R18 | 7.5J | 5 x 114.3 | 45 | 60.1 | 42611-06740 | 225/45 R18 |
| tuning | R19 | 8J | 5 x 114.3 | 40 | 60.1 | absent | 235/40 R19 |
When choosing R17 wheels, preference was given to Silver color. There is no doubt that the presence of black varnish and polishing on alloy wheels gives it additional sophistication and charm, but I decided to refuse to purchase such wheels due to the fact that over time the black varnish and polishing lose their beautiful properties, and also begin to peel off and crack, especially in conditions our climate zone.
For my previous car, I bought just such wheels, with black varnish and polishing - but after the first winter season the wheels lost their presentation due to the effects of reagents and salt from the road surface. This option did not suit me. When choosing, I was guided by Replica Toyota wheels. I chose several options, photos of which I posted below. Friends, don't forget. that there are no comrades in taste and color - I chose it for myself, so don’t kick me too much
