There is alot more clearance left over than I expected so im gonna slap some Tein lowering springs on it after I get my VIS racing bodykit (cyber II GT) and my hood scoop, spoiler and Z3 fenders installed and painted.

They look really good. You should def paint your calipers. It will make it look complete. But nice rims over all

I definitely agree about the caliper paint - it only costs a few $, doesn't take to long, and makes a WORLD of difference.\

But other than that, the rims look nice. I think I was looking at the same ones, but in a 20". I put 17's on mine and had the same problem with wheel well space and how it looks. So I've decided to go with 20's instead to see how that looks before I lower it.

yeah I was going to get 18" rims, but alot of people were telling me that for a 99 Camry, anything over 17" will rub. The rotors in the front look fine except for some rust on the rotor hubs and the rear drum brakes are completely rusted. So Im going to grab some Rustoleum primer and paint, and paint the drum brakes and the rotor hubs black, and paint the calipers red.

When you do that its gona make the car look complete. You should do a diy on painting calipers. I think it would be cool.

I think I have increased my fuel efficiency by adding these rims/tires.
