Wheel/tire setup is slightly heavier but it dont feel it with the 5 speed manual tranny. ...
Gained a whole inch of ground clearance on the Camry. I can drive right over most normal sized curbs now if i need too!

Mounted them tires myself with a crowbar and Stanley Wonder Bar.

You could put "stiffer springs" on the car to keep the wheels from striking the top of the inner fender. The author of the
Canyon Hiking Guide to the Colorado Plateau did just that to his VW Rabbit. He wanted to prove that you don't need a 4WD vehicle to travel unpaved, rutted roads. There are tons of "lowering springs" available out there. I have not seen stiffer springs. You might buy air-assist or some sort of coil-over shock absorber.
I wish I could see that video of you changing tires with a tire iron.
