It's not just size, but a combination of size and weight that's important. Tall tire test.

That's the one I referred to in post #16... take note, man... it's still the best on the site, I think.

Well I test fitted the wheels finally. They fit!! Now time for tires(the hard part) Also while I had the factory wheel off I weighed it to my dismay tire/wheel combo only weighs 36 pounds so I won't be losing as much weight as I orignally thought.

Really? If those are Civic Hybrid wheels... I thought they had center bore 56.1 and the Camry a center bore of something like 60. I guess not.

Sully you should come down test run my 195 70s with mpguino then decide if you want larger diameter. we could hit the casino one weekend that would be close to 75 miles round trip.
