Wheel Offset Question

[Shel_B]

I'm considering some new wheels for my 2011 Camry. The standard wheels are 16-inches diameter x 6.5-inches wide with a 45mm offset.

Some wheels that I'm looking at have a 38mm offset. Will they work well on the Camry? Would the wheels move inward or outward with such an offset, i.e., will the track become wider or narrower?

Some wheels I'm considering are 16-inches diameter with a 7-inch width. Should I stick with the 45mm offset or is the 38mm offset a good/better choice for the slightly wider wheel?

Less offset pushes the wheel outward. 1/2" wider wheel with 7mm less offset will be within 1mm on the inside edge and stick out about 13mm more on the outside edge.

I'd use the wheel offset calculator. Depending on brake calipers and clearance. FWD vehicles tend to be more affected by change.

Thanks! I totally forgot about the calculator...

Go with 38mm. Wheels would be more outward
