17s or 18s on a Camry
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.

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.

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.

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

opinion ko lang , kung ano ang pinaka malaking kasya sa kotse ko ay yun ang ilalagay ko ngunit sa 17's ok na yun . i'd still go for the 18's kung sa Camry ko ilalagay and yung 45 series ang gulong .
