Hi I have an 07 camry SE v6 with the original 17" tires alluminum alloy rims on it. I want to upgrade my rims to chrome but unsure of what size i want. I was thinking keeping the original 17 size but 18 or possibly 19 is tempting. My problem is that I want to keep the rim and tire ratio the same so for example if i get bigger rims i want to get lower profile tires to keep everything the same so i do not mess up the performance of the car. I am also looking to do this with a $1000-$1200 budget. I would keep the original 17 tires on it and get 17" rims but i dont think they would look good with the original profile of those tires.

So I have no idea what kind to get and what to do Im lost.
Any info would be a big help

That's funny man, we're in the exact same predicament (sp?). I don't know what rims i wanna throw on there, but i was even thinking of goin 20's, cuz there might be enough space but maybe unlikely. If anyone has some nice idea's to post that would be great, and rd, if you get some ideas send em over ill do the same.

For '07s- i'd go with 19's.. 2 reasons; decent mileage and fills in the gaps pretty well.. 18s gets swallowed into the wheel well and that's the look i try to avoid the most. You guys should check out cardomain.com for some ideas on what camrys look like w/rims on. You might find something there that'll inspire you.

When set up the right way 18s look just fine.

I tried 18"s and they didn't seem big enough to me, with the size of the wheel well and our car in general. I initially wanted 19"s but 40 series tires were just too expensive and a 35 would leave too much wheel gap. I ended up with 20"s and 235/35 20 tires. They fit just fine and the ride quality wasn't compromised much at all.

18's didn't work for me either, they seemd too small even with the car lowered. Here's a pic of mine with 20's.
