Mine are from a wrx. just call up your local tyre store they can tell you what offset the camry is and go from there.

TRDCamry Newbie Group: Members Posts: 2 Member No.: 3348 Status: Offline Posted:Jul 5 2005, 04:52 PM The rims cant be from a wrx, the offset is all wrong. im looking for rims as well and the offset for a camry is 35-38 and a wrx is 40-50 so, i dont know how u got them on ur car. did u modify to fit them?? _ShadowZ Newbie Group: Members Posts: 24 Member No.: 2323 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Jul 7 2005, 06:12 PM to kevman: lost to most things running over my boost level, some plates iv'e lost to, if anyone is interested, BANNED(on mid boost), SLEEK GTS, SYK 33. to TRDCamry: the rims are 100% wrx, I used spacers to bring the wheels out a bit (spacers are about 10mm thick.) other than that they fit and work well. they provide good grip. Kev_man Newbie Group: Members Posts: 12 Member No.: 2429 Status: Offline Posted:Jul 14 2005, 06:06 PM Yo, Wonderin if in western australia do you have mod plates? If so do you have one? And have the cops ever pulled you over and give you any trouble?? Cheers kev man _ShadowZ Newbie Group: Members Posts: 24 Member No.: 2323 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Jul 15 2005, 01:23 AM Yeah man i'm in WA. mod plates?!? WTF? I've got engineers certificate and mod PERMITS. Cops pulling me over... Police pulling over exsessivly loud camry....................Worrying Police asking for drivers licence.................................slightly stressed Police asking to lift the bonnet..................................very worrying Police shining tourch into engine bay.........................disconcerning Police saying that the engine and mods are illegal......Meh Handing the Police engineer cert and mod permits......Classic Watching police leave in shame................................Priceless I had once fooled two cops into beliving that the car was an import and all things where stock. One cop saw the permit list and therefore couldn't bust me for anything and then started going off about some loose wires, to pretend he was hot shit. Cops are a funny bunch, if they don't know what it is or havn't seen it often, then it must be illegal. VL commodores for example, can be in the worst condition but because they see many in the same condition they ignore the faults and continue on. Kev_man Newbie Group: Members Posts: 12 Member No.: 2429 Status: Offline Posted:Jul 15 2005, 09:59 PM Nice story..i got one about a mate with a vl turbo and cops pulling him over....cop-"why is your radiator so far in front"........mate-"thats not a radiator its a intercooler"......cop-"whats an intercooler?".......mate-"it cools down the charged air made by the turbo".......cop-"whats a turbo?"........ .. Another true story....an cop car pulled over a work place health and safety officer for speeding...$180 bucks or sumthun....just as the smart arse cop was walkin away the bloke said hey...."your parked slightly on the road and you don't have witches hats out.....that'll be $300.....also walking out onto a busy highway while working without a safety vest...another $300"..... yeah you could say the look on his face was priceless hey i noticed that your blow off valve is a trumpet..i thought they were illegal.....don't you have to get them plumbed back to be legal?

I can make mine quite due to it not opening till higher boost levels. still makes a small noise at lower but not as obvious. Hell I dont care pits paseed my car so stick it up any copper that says otherwise.

With the spacers does it give u enough thread to put the wheel nuts on? Why r u using spacers for, does it rub on the insides?

That was absolute bloody funny as all hell. Somehow if he has spent $20K on his motor alone he would flog you unless he spent $20K dressing up the motor or unless he had wheelspin throughout the whole race. _ShadowZ Newbie Group: Members Posts: 24 Member No.: 2323 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Jul 18 2005, 05:29 PM exhaust manifold and turbo cover???... Errrr with the 3sgte engine (from a st185 halfcut) thats in the car!!!!! with the spacers it still gives plenty of room for nuts, as the camry wheels bolts are quite long in comparison to other cars. QUOTE Somehow if he has spent $20K on his motor alone he would flog you unless he spent $20K dressing up the motor or unless he had wheelspin throughout the whole race. OR unless I spent the same money on mine and have a 500kg lighter car. DIR. even with boost problem i was making 195hp. so 195hp/1300kg VS. 220hp/1850kg. Do the math. Kev_man Newbie Group: Members Posts: 12 Member No.: 2429 Status: Offline Posted:Jul 18 2005, 09:30 PM Yo, with that turbosmart boost controller you can adjust what boost you have each gear right?.....just wonderin what you got yours set for.....and also your diff....is it standard single spinner, locked or lsd or whatever. kev LOW_TX5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 74 Member No.: 2716 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Jul 19 2005, 09:57 AM QUOTE (_ShadowZ @ Jul 18 2005, 05:29 PM) OR unless I spent the same money on mine and have a 500kg lighter car.

I don't think that for $20K his straight six turbo is only producing 220hp i estimate around 350hp plus. Do you always have to speak so harsh u little turd.
