Offsets would have to be in the teens probably.

And you'll need to modify/roll your fenders and have the right suspension set-up, and those might be 9.5 wide.

i'm looking for affordable wheels (possible XXR) as this is my winter ride. I should be leaving it stock but i'm so much a gear head i'm modding the winter ride. I got a hoist at home and mechanically incline enough to revert back to stock if this setup ****s the bed but i am planning to do eibach pro/KYB AGX with 18x9 235/50/18 with a mild stretch on some studded tires.

The picture above is a 10" wide wheel and I am repainting the car this summer so a roll is np if need be.

I know there will be a couple finger gap...do i care, no. If anyone thinks i'm rice i invite you to come see my summer cars LOL

Canada here too

225/40R18 + stillen front lip + tein SS coilovers on lowest settings... It is hitting something (I think?). Then for winter I install 17" SE rims and H-tech/KYB GR2 setup but usually just drive the Camry ... I've done similar in the past with a Nissan Altima and when it got traded in back in 2012, the coilovers were fine since I cleaned them every year, put anti-seize on the threads, took it to shop to get rust protection etc and they never saw winter due to swapping the suspension.

So you reinstall coilovers just for summer? Isn't that why they're adjustable? And you have a Winter car, the Camry?
