17s or 18s on a Camry

[IMm29]

Need your inputs.

Choosing between the currently used 17" Rota Style 6 on 225/50R17 and the prospective 18" Toms on either 225/45R18 or 245/40R18.

Btw, the tires on the Toms 18s in pix are 235/50R18, so the tires I'm looking to get will have a shorter sidewall.

Thanks.

17" style 6

imho, best of both worlds, porma, saka mas maganda naman ng ride kesa 18s di ba







my 2 cents is Php 1.07

Imm29,
pre,ok yun current setup mo,but if you lower it more,ok na 18"s.but you already know what will happen.

anyway,how many holes yun camry and what pcd?

and are the toms for sale?if ever,how much?

I would vote for 18's...having compared 18's on a similar car to my car (which is on 17's) I have to say that the difference in ride is not that much. However, it is true that you run an increased risk of damage on bad roads.

However, IMHO those Tom's rims are really ugly. Ibang 18's na lang, if you want my opinion...

Thanks! Yeah, I know the sad part though, which is why I don't intend to go the lowering route.

5 holes 114 pcd ang Camry

and are the toms for sale?if ever,how much?

Yeah, they're for sale at Freddie's in Evangelista. They're brand new, we just put some rubber on them to see how they look. P46K bro.

Thanks. Compared with the stock 15s, my current setup had about the same ride quality. Not much harshness was added by the upgrade.

However, it is true that you run an increased risk of damage on bad roads.

Yeah, true. Considering there's a little less rubber than a 195/55R15 tire, but more than a 195/50R15 tire.

However, IMHO those Tom's rims are really ugly. Ibang 18's na lang, if you want my opinion...

Thanks, will see how they look once installed and take a pic.
