Well i found out camry wheels have the same bolt pattern as our cars and since i can get steelies for free from work (i do all the wheel swaps to enkei wheels) Most of them are 15" too and i am looking for a small wheel for auto-x to put some r-compounds on since they are cheaper in a small size. My question is what kind of offset will fit because camry wheels are +45 offset. If they do fit what would be max tires size i am looking at running 205-215 45 r-compounds. LMK what everybody thinks. Also if i come across a set of 16" steelies in 45+ offset would those have a better chance of fitting?

It also depends on the wheel itself and how wide it is.

Make sure the centerbore is wide enough for the MSP since we seem to have a pretty big one and have trouble with some wheels because of it.

I have run a 15x7 with a 35 offset in the front with a 205/50/R15 falken azenis tire. It worked fine after I removed the wheel weights from the inside of the wheel (it is so close that they were rubbing the caliper)

I dont know what other mods you have or if you are lowered or anything but just by changing to a 15" wheel with R Compounds will put you into DSP in the SCCA for AutoX.

I would do a test fit and make sure they clear the front brakes.

yeah i am gonna try a test fit later today i just need to find a rim in the shop. And i am in DSP as it is because i have a corksport exhaust in fact i have to remove my CF hood for the events to stay outa SM. I am not to woried because i my times put me in 2nd and 3rd in DSP with just street tires still on

ok I just wanted to make sure you knew. The steel rims are not going to the be best for AutoX both because of weight and the width of them but you can't argue with the price.
