Camry wheels: tire and wheel sizes, bolt pattern, drilling

The bolt pattern of rims for a Toyota Camry, regardless of generation and year of manufacture, is a typical parameter that is selected by the manufacturer and serves to ensure that a new set of rims can be properly selected and installed, regardless of their size. The second name for the parameter has become widespread - drilling. It appears in some sources. To avoid confusion for a beginner, this is the same parameter, just with a different name.

The importance of this value is to make it possible to understand exactly how the wheel is attached to the elements of the chassis. The popular and widespread business sedan Toyota Camry is produced at several brand factories in Japan, the USA and Europe, and is supplied to all countries of the world. The model has a classic design and is popular among businessmen and officials.

Dimensions and bolt pattern of Toyota Camry wheels depending on the model

Wheels are an indispensable attribute of a car. Depending on the owner’s preferences, this can be either regular stamping or casting, which gives the car a more interesting look. But for each model it is necessary to use wheels with rims of a certain diameter and tire profile, since this will affect many factors: handling, noise level, fuel consumption, suspension life expectancy. Let's look at what wheels need to be installed on Toyota Camry V50, V40, V30, V55, V70.

It is very important to choose the right size tires and wheels for your car, because this parameter affects safety, handling and suspension life. If the diameter of the cast rim is large, then you need to install special rubber with a low profile on it. The volume of air in it will be less than in a regular one, and the suspension will be very stiff. With a small casting diameter and a high rubber profile, the car will be very soft, but this will have a negative impact on handling. Therefore, you need to find the perfect balance between comfort and controllability. Let's look at these acceptable tire parameters for Toyota Camry V50, V40 and V 30.

Shoes for Toyota Camry V50: wheels and tires

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.

Toyota 16R standard wheels

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.

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.

In the end, I chose Legeartis Optima TY5110, which I managed to buy for 5,000 rubles each with delivery from the Mosavtoshina online store. The rims came with Toyota emblems for the cap in the center of the rim.

There is a lot of controversy about tire pressure. The Toyota service book contains information about the recommended tire pressure.

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

  • On what roads will the car be primarily used?
  • Do you need increased cross-country ability?
  • How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
  • Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for Toyota Camry 2012?

3 types of rims:

  • Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
  • Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
  • Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

What is the tire pressure?

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tire pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with vehicle operation. An abnormal pressure value often causes:

  • deterioration of management;
  • uneven tread wear.

Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, and the car “passes” various road irregularities an order of magnitude easier. But it is worth noting: a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 MPa leads to serious problems. The main ones include:

  • increased fuel consumption;
  • rapid wear of the outer tread segments;
  • the car becomes less maneuverable.

An overinflated wheel causes no less problems. The central part of the cylinder begins to wear off quickly. In addition, at ambient temperatures of more than 60 degrees Celsius, the tire may simply explode. Which will lead to driving into the oncoming lane.

Choosing tires for wheels

If the car has just come out of the showroom, the owner will invariably have to puzzle over the selection of winter tires, especially if it is winter outside, and the factory tires are summer.

Let's try to figure out what the best winter tires are for the Toyota Camry, taking into account the base size 215/55 R17.

Here is the TOP 20 - popular offers from average Russian stores:

Which winter tires for Toyota Camry to choose – studded or friction, depend on the climatic conditions of your region and the quality of the roads on which you will have to drive.

This is not an SUV, but if, in order to get from home to work, you need to overcome uphill and downhill terrain every day, and even with heavy snowfall, Velcro is not the best choice.

We also advise inexperienced drivers to ride on studded tires in winter, and it is better if they have a symmetrical, non-directional tread.

If we take into account the test drives carried out annually by the magazine “Behind the Wheel”, Continental invariably leads among friction tires, and Nokian among studded tires. During testing, the following indicators are taken into account:

  • braking on dry and wet asphalt;
  • acceleration, braking and handling on ice;
  • in the snow, in addition to all this discipline, cross-country ability is also added.

In all situations, qualities such as smooth running and acoustic comfort are also assessed.

General recommendations when selecting tires

When deciding which tires to install on a Toyota Camry, you need to take into account the characteristics of a particular modification. In principle, this is a fast car, since the engine power on some of them reaches 249 hp, and accordingly, it can reach speeds of up to 220 km/h.

But engine power alone is not enough for this - the driving performance of the car largely depends on the correctly selected “shoes”.

In winter on ice, and even with all the known quality of our roads, it would hardly occur to anyone to drive at such speeds. High-speed tires are often chosen for the summer, and we will bring to your attention several worthy models.

In the summer, car owners try to install wheels with a larger radius. The maximum tire size for the Camry is 235/40 R19, which is what we will focus on.

Michelin

In general, Michelin rubber is famous for its softness. However, any property in different conditions can be both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2

On high-quality road surfaces, such tires allow you to achieve the highest speeds, but in Russian realities you can feel every bump on them. If you live in the city and drive exclusively on the highway, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 is an excellent choice.

Nokian

Nokian Hakka Black 2

And the Finns have all tires, even summer ones, positioned as models for use in difficult climatic conditions. For Russia - the best!

In the process of creating the model, a concept (Dynamic Grip) was applied, in which the main emphasis is on a new rubber compound, multi-layer structure and improved pattern. In particular, the Hakka Black 2 has stronger shoulder areas and a reinforced center rib.

Smooth and deep longitudinal grooves effectively drain water and thereby improve handling on wet road surfaces.

Continental

Tires under the Continental brand are now produced in Russia, but only in sizes up to radius 17. Everything above is manufactured either in Germany itself or at its subsidiaries in Europe.

Continental ContiPremiumContact 6

The latest summer model, PremiumContact 6, is a premium tire with an asymmetric tread pattern designed for mid-range cars and SUVs. IN

It came out in 2021, has already “worked” for two summer seasons and has managed to earn a high reputation among owners of cars in this category. The main advantages are excellent handling combined with a high level of acoustic comfort.

Toyo Proxes STIII is a tire with a fundamentally different type of tread than those presented above. Its feature is a directional symmetrical pattern. Is it good or bad?

Toyo Proxes STIII

This type of tread, which is quite deep and can be considered all-season, is designed to drain water as efficiently as possible.

The directionality of the pattern ensures directional stability at high speed. The shoulder areas are reinforced, the rubber on them is more rigid and multi-layered. This gives the tread resistance to high loads that occur when driving at high speeds.

On such a tire you can drive not only on the highway, but also feel comfortable on a country road.

Top tires for Camry

Good summer tires for Camry.

Continental Conti Premium Contact 5 is a tire that has high acoustic comfort, excellent braking and road holding on dry and wet surfaces. Soft, so it wears out quickly.

Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 tires

Nokian Nordman SZ is a choice that adequately responds to low temperatures for summer tires without losing grip properties. They accelerate and brake the car well. The downside is the noise.

Yokohama BluEarth-A AE-50 is the solution if you prioritize price and reliability. Good grip on dry and wet asphalt, wear-resistant. Noisy, does not handle gravel roads well.

Michelin Energy XM2 – quiet, durable, wear-resistant. Excellent performance on asphalt in the rain. It rides poorly on wet gravel and grass.

When choosing winter tires, pay attention to the following models. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 - good non-studded tires that provide decent directional stability, cross-country ability in snowy areas, good braking on ice

Weak deceleration on asphalt

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 are good non-studded tires that provide decent directional stability, cross-country ability in snowy areas, and good braking on ice. Weak deceleration on asphalt.

Goodyear Ultragrip Ice 2 is a non-studded tire. Pros: confident deceleration on ice, cross-country ability on loose snow. The downside is high noise.

Goodyear Ultragrip Ice 2

Continental Contiicecontact - studded example. Advantages: wear resistance, reliable stud fastening, good grip on winter roads. Disadvantages – not optimal behavior on wet asphalt.

Pirelli Ice Zero is a tire with studs that has a good price/quality ratio, studs with a double core, and reliability. Not recommended for regions where temperatures rise above zero during the cold season.

Pirelli Ice Zero

Wheel size V40

The wheel and tire sizes of the XV50 and XV40 are practically the same. “Rollers” for the forty:

  • 16 – 6.5Jx16 ET45
  • 17 – 7Jx17 ET50
  • 18 – 7.5Jx18 ET 45

The diameter of the central hole (DIA) is 60.1 mm, fastening to the hub is a nut, drill Camry 40 - 5x114.3.

Offset (ET45) – the distance between the vertical axis of the wheel and the plane of the attachment point to the hub. The offset can be positive (most often), zero, or negative.

The manufacturer allows the use of non-standard “rollers” on Toyota Camry XV40 and XV50 with an offset of 40mm to 50mm.

Large and small wheel diameters have pros and cons. This happens because the larger the rim, the thinner the rubber profile. Therefore, when choosing R18 rollers, a car enthusiast gets excellent appearance and handling, but loses in comfort and suspension life. By installing “sneakers” of small diameter on the Camry, it improves the smoothness of the ride and the running time of the chassis, and at the same time deteriorates the spectacular appearance and handling.

Bolt pattern and selection parameters

Motorists do not always choose the right wheels for their car, choosing the largest size. Of course, they make the car’s appearance memorable and provide higher ground clearance, but in the end they reduce the profile height, thereby loading the suspension and reducing driving comfort. When fully loaded, the tires come into contact with the arches and wear out faster.

The other side of this coin is choosing a smaller product with a high rubber profile, which leads to worse handling at high speed and especially when entering corners.

The optimal solution would be to choose original wheels manufactured in 2016 for your Toyota Camry.

When choosing tires for your car, you can choose the desired radius, type and size of the roller, but you will be very stupid if you do not pay attention to the bolt pattern parameters - the distance on the product between the holes for attaching the wheel to the hub. In this case, it will be completely impossible to attach a brand new disk to this model of machine.

The Toyota Camry technical data sheet indicates what the bolt pattern should be; in this model it is 5 x 114.3 mm.

This means that the wheel is secured using five studs located around a circle with a diameter of 114.3 mm. But that’s not all; to select the right wheel rim you need to know the following parameters:

  1. the size of the annular part of the roller in inches on which the rubber is mounted is called the rim diameter (motorists often call it the disk size);
  2. the rim width should be 75% of the tire width;
  3. The central hole of the roller should be equal in size to the diameter of the front wheel hub of the machine. The marking code for this hole is DIA;
  4. the distance between the disc mount and the plane of symmetry of the rim is called offset or offset. It is recommended that the overhang be no more than 10 mm from the standard; this distance is designated ET;
  5. the number of holes for fastening the product and the diameter formed by them is nothing more than the bolt pattern of the disk, measured in millimeters and has a PCD code.

You can install other, wider rollers with unknown parameters if you know the bolt pattern of the Toyota Camry. You know the number of holes, and the PCD parameter is calculated as follows: measure the distance between the centers of the holes (necessarily with a caliper) and multiply the resulting number by 1.701 - we get the bolt pattern parameter. Based on these data, the disk is drilled.

If you decide to install large, low offset and wider custom wheels on your Camry 40, which will make your car more elegant and stand out from the crowd, then the dimensions should remain within the parameters most suitable for the rollers of your model.

Just leave the drilling of custom disks to a professional.

Tires, wheels for Toyota Camry

The correct selection of tires and wheels is the key to the smooth running of the car, the safety of the driver and his passengers, and the preservation of the wear resistance of the suspension.

When replacing wheels, many car enthusiasts seek to change the appearance of the car by, for example, increasing the size of the rims. But in order to do this competently, you need to know the results of the “wear” of certain tires.

Large wheel diameters require low-profile tires, which reduce the level of comfort by reflecting any road unevenness onto the suspension. The controllability of such cars is high, but the comfort of being in the car while driving is lacking.

Small rim diameters force the purchase of high profile tires. In this case, the rubber is soft and contains a lot of air, which in turn worsens the vehicle’s handling.

What tire and wheel sizes for Toyota Camry does KOLOBOX recommend?

The wheel size depends on the year of production and modification of a particular car. Toyota Camry, produced since 1987, has a long history and an extensive number of modifications throughout its existence.

If you pay attention to the modification of the Toyota Camry car, released in 2021, you can see that the recommended tire values ​​are as follows: Variations in the diameter of radius wheels from 16 to 18 inches; Width from 205 to 235 mm, profile as a division of width by height, from 45 to 65%.

What winter tires are recommended for the Toyota Camry?

When choosing a winter set of tires for a Toyota Camry, it is not enough to know the required standard size dictated by the manufacturer. It is necessary to determine which characteristics, including tread pattern and tire appearance, will suit a particular driver.

If we take into account the Toyota Camry V50, then we should note the diameter of 17 inches, which suits this car in its properties and gives the car a harmonious appearance.

Many drivers in Russia are inclined towards studded winter tires, and there is a reason for this: the Russian winter is not particularly mild, turning the roads into solid ice covered with snow. This condition gives way to rare days of thaw, when the roads become a haven of a mixture of mud and snow.

Considering this feature, one can understand drivers who choose tires with studs. They have a short braking distance on snowy or icy surfaces.

The disadvantages include increased fuel consumption, insufficient controllability and a high risk of losing some of the studs on a dry road surface.

The table shows possible options for winter tires for Toyota Camry cars.

What tires are recommended for Toyota Camry in the summer?

As stated earlier, the manufacturer recommends wheel diameters of 16, 17 and 18 inches for this car. When replacing a summer set of tires, first of all it is necessary to determine what goal the driver is pursuing: to change the appearance of the car or to achieve the desired level of comfort?

In the first case, you can pay attention to wheels with a diameter of 16 inches and a formula of 215/60 (width and profile, respectively). They are inconspicuous, but pleasant to use and practical.

If you still want to give the car a more interesting look, then you can choose a diameter of 17 inches and marking 215/55.

Comfort suffers with tires of size 235/45 and 18-inch diameters. You will need to look for wheels corresponding to this size among those installed on American Toyota cars. The disadvantage is that the reduced profile will make itself felt by a loss of comfort.

If you select universal 17-inch tires, you can select several brands: Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear, Laufenn.

What wheels are recommended for a Toyota Camry?

Most trim levels of this car are equipped with radial wheels with a diameter of 16. On more expensive models there are wheels with a diameter of 17 inches. This emphasizes the appearance of the car, giving it additional presentability.

If desired, the driver can install 17-inch wheels and even 18-inch wheels, which are supplied for American versions of the Toyota Camry.

The bolt pattern, as an important point in the matter of changing discs, is formed from five mounting holes, which are located on a circle of 114.3 mm.

What pressure is recommended for Toyota Camry tires?

For sizes marked 215/60 with a diameter of 16 inches and 215/55 with a diameter of 17 inches, the tire pressure should be maintained at 2.3 atm.

The maximum load, at which there are five people in the car, the pressure should be raised to 2.4 Atm.

Many experienced drivers reduce the pressure to 2.1 Atm; if 2.3 seems excessive to them, the tires become too hard.

Custom wheels and bolt pattern Toyota

By choosing wide and large-diameter rollers for the car, we thereby increase the ground clearance, but the profile becomes smaller, the suspension system is more loaded and does not handle road unevenness as confidently. A loaded body sags, the arches rub against the tires and the wheels wear out faster.

On the contrary, when the tire profile is larger and the disc diameter is smaller, the car’s stability and controllability deteriorate, especially when cornering and at high speed.

So you need to choose custom rollers for Toyota Corolla only after calculating all possible consequences, and entrust the drilling work only to highly qualified craftsmen.

To choose the right roller, you need to know not only the bolt pattern of the Toyota Corolla, but also such parameters as:

  1. The rim width is 75% of the tire width and is the desired value.
  2. Overhang or offset is the distance between the roller mount and the plane of symmetry of the rim.
  3. The central hole of the disk should be equal to the hub seat.
  4. Rim size - usually measured in inches.

As for the Toyota Corolla bolt pattern by year, cars from 1999 to 2001 had a 4x100 bolt pattern and a roller offset of 38 to 45 mm. The size of the central hole (CO) is 54.1 mm.

Cars from 2002 to 2008, this also applies to 120 bodies, differed only in the bolt pattern, it was 5x100. For the E 150 body, the offset changed from 2006 to 2013, it became 39 to 42.

For other models from 2002 to 2012, only the disc offset was different - 34 to 45. The bolt pattern from 2002 to 2012 for all models and bodies remained the same - 5x100 mm.

Nokian

In general, Nokian Tires released three summer tire models in 2021. One of them is Hakka Black 2, designed for sports cars and premium cars. Despite the fact that tires under this brand are now produced in Russia, tread patterns and rubber compounds are created in their homeland in Finland.

The directionality of the pattern ensures directional stability at high speed. The shoulder areas are reinforced, the rubber on them is more rigid and multi-layered. This gives the tread resistance to high loads that occur when driving at high speeds.

On such a tire you can drive not only on the highway, but also feel comfortable on a country road.

The best winter non-studded tires for Toyota Camry

Friction tires are the best choice for a big city, where the asphalt is clean even in winter. In addition, such tires are more comfortable to drive and quieter.

Bridgestone Blizzak LM005

Description of the tire. Friction tires with a directional symmetrical gull-shaped tread pattern. The model is new, appeared on the market in the winter of 2019/2020.

The compound contains a significant addition of silica to improve grip on wet and snow-covered roads.

The additive maintains the elasticity and softness of rubber even in extreme cold. The characteristics of the mixture are stable over a wide temperature range.

The side grooves are widened and deepened. This improved the efficiency of draining water, slush, and self-cleaning from snow. The pattern also led to better grip and maneuverability on snow.

The cutting of the lamellas is optimized for grip on ice. The sides are elastic, but thin.

  1. Not noisy.
  2. Stable in a straight line.
  3. Does not float at temperatures up to +15°C.
  4. The seat is deep, which protects the disc.
  5. Good grip on asphalt.
  6. Doesn't slip on water.
  7. Good cross-country ability in snow and porridge.
  1. Thin sides.

GOODYEAR Ultra Grip Ice 2

Description of the tire. The tire pattern is directional, in the form of gull wings, symmetrical.

The compound used received the loud name “cryoadaptive”. In practice, this means maintaining elasticity in cold temperatures below - 25⁰C.

The tread pattern is made up of arrow-shaped blocks. They are cut with thin slits and lamellas. The edges of the clutch are long, they are located at a considerable inclination to the direction of movement.

The pattern promotes high traction and grip qualities, high stability, and noise reduction. The shoulder blocks are massive and large. They improve handling and cross-country ability in snow.

The channels of the drainage system are large, this improves the removal of water and slush, the wide channels of the shoulder areas grip the snow well, improving cross-country ability and being easier to clean themselves. The sides are soft, but thin.

  1. They don't make noise.
  2. Wear-resistant.
  3. Beautiful drawing.
  4. Good grip in any weather.
  5. Excellent cross-country ability in snow.
  6. Soft.

Nokian Tires Nordman RS2

Description of the tire. Inexpensive tires with a symmetrical tread pattern and pronounced directionality. Despite the cheapness, the tires are of high quality with good characteristics.

It is better to use only in the city. That's because tires are most effective on asphalt. They run fine on compacted snow, but they don’t particularly like loose snow. It will be difficult to drive through the snowdrifts.

Drainage effectively removes water and slush. Resistance to hydroplaning is high. The lamellas hold dry asphalt well, but worse when wet.

Blocks on the tread with so-called brake boosters, which serve to improve braking on hard surfaces and on snow. But on ice, their effectiveness decreases.

The sides are soft and effectively absorb shock and vibration. The noise is average, unnoticeable at low speeds.

  1. Soft.
  2. Handle well on asphalt.
  3. Short braking.
  4. Well balanced.
  5. Behavior is predictable.

Original alloy wheels for Toyota Camry

Below we will discuss how to choose wheels for different bodies.

70 body

Toyota Camry XV70 in Russia officially began to be sold only in April 2021. The installation of original wheels on the Camry 70 should be carried out by a skilled auto mechanic. When installing “casting” you need to strive to ensure that the overhang does not go beyond the permissible value. When the overhang is a few millimeters, serious problems arise when entering turns, and the suspension may fly. It is for this reason that it is important to choose the right “casting” with parameters 7x17 ET 45 or 6.5x16 ET 45.

40 body

Toyota Camry XV40 was produced until 2011. Parts from Lexus are perfect for such a car, the main thing is that the wheels have the following parameters:

  • 16 - 6.5Jx16 ET45;
  • 17 - 7Jx17 ET50;
  • 18 - 7.5Jx18 ET 45.

In most configurations it was installed with 16 inches.

An owner who decides to install a “cast” with a radius of 18 inches must be prepared that ride comfort will not be as high as on R16 or R17 wheels, and with larger “rollers” the service life of the suspension will be reduced.

55 body

Toyota Camry XV55 was produced until 2021. On this body you can put R16, R17, R18 wheels, and all of them will be original.

The sizes of wheels for cars in the 55 body are practically no different from the XV 40 versions. The only thing is that with each generation the dimensions of the Camry increase, so casting with a radius of 16 inches on cars with the XV50 index and above will not look very impressive, the wheels will be “lost” in the arches, so it is better to choose R17. R16 is advisable for those who primarily value comfort and good ride quality in a car.

Tire sizes for Toyota Camry V40

For a Toyota Camry, its tire size must be selected in a way that fits into the vehicle regulations. It is worth understanding that the tire size depends on the casting parameters. Most cars are equipped with 16-inch.

The most optimal tire size for Toyota Camry is 215/60 R16.

Externally, a car with 215/60 tires does not look very interesting due to the small diameter wheels, but this option is the most practical. If, after all, the owner wants his car to look more interesting, then instead of 60, you can choose 215/55 R17. These two sizes come as standard with the car, but many install 235/45 R18, but for this you need to buy wheels that fit the American versions of this car. This option will look interesting, but you will have to pay for it in comfort.

V40 tire sizes

Tires for Camry 40 are the same size as Camry 50:

  • 215/65 R16 94V
  • 215/55 R17 94V
  • 205/45 R18 92V


Black beauty

The tire pressure should be 2.1-2.2 bar, measured in cold tires.

The smallest wheels that are installed on Camry 40 are 215/60 R16, the largest tire size is 225/40 R19.

When choosing wheels for a Toyota Camry, be guided by the tasks you would like to solve. If the main thing is the car’s appearance, performance and handling, then choose large R19 wheels. But be prepared that the smoothness of the ride will decrease, as will the service life of the suspension elements. If your goal is to drive comfortably, softly and protect the chassis, then R16 wheels are your choice.

Many car owners purchase large wheels and tires for the summer season, while winter tires remain small in diameter.

On Toyota Camry XV 40 and XV50, the manufacturer allows the use of non-standard wheels with an offset of 40 to 50 millimeters.

An owner who decides to install a “cast” with a radius of 18 inches must be prepared that ride comfort will not be as high as on R16 or R17 wheels, and with larger “rollers” the service life of the suspension will be reduced.

Non-standard disks

If you buy an original casting for a Camry V40, then you should not worry whether it will fit the car, because this is already provided for in advance by the manufacturer, but when buying castings for a V40 car from other manufacturers, you should pay attention to a number of factors:

  1. Bolt pattern on the hub: 5X114.3 - this means that the fixation is carried out by five bolts, and the bolts themselves form a circle measuring 114.3 mm.
  2. Maximum diameter: R20.
  3. The wheel offset should be between 35 and 45 mm.

Selection of disks with non-standard parameters

The last option is to purchase a disk that differs in one or more parameters. This case is only suitable for those who are putting their Toyota at risk. Then you can purchase disks of larger or smaller diameter, with a larger central hole. Having a different offset or greater width will not be a problem.

The only parameter that is prohibited from changing is PCD. The reason is that the mounting holes must strictly coincide with the seats in the car. The maximum possible diameter for purchase is 20 inches.

Wheel offset can vary from 35 to 45 mm. For easier orientation, we can say that the wheel specification is the same as that of the Lexus ES250.
