Tenzo-R Passion 5 44 offset. With Bridgestone Potenza 215/45/Z17 tires. I wonder if they would rub on the breaks. I have 42 offset rims right now and they are ok.....

Nice rim choice. If they do rub, it'll just be a little. Very little. You'll still need spacers.

If you have drums in the back, you won't need spacers. But if you have them in the front and none in the back, it looks a little weird. My brother's Camry has it like that.

You're gonna need something small. Real small. Look for spacers at like Advance Auto or your local car shop. I believe they carry them.

Looks like it. I think I'm right. Can someone else pitch in too? I should be right since it's just over the usual desired offset (i.e. 38-43).

No you do not need spacer's. I had 48 offset, and it was fine.

Good.

Best way to ruin a car is to put crappy wheels on it. Your car is on it's way to being one of the best. Get some good wheels. Something light....

My current ones are made by a company called FRD I think they are a canadian company that makes knock-offs but I have seen quite a few of them around in a lot of different styles.... Always on the lookout for something a little better. I need new tires but want to get rid of my camber issues first before eating up a new set with the negative camber. I have TRD springs, and got an alignment but I dont know if they are lower in teh back, I still have negative camber so I'm looking into some Hotchkis camber plates. Definate 2 finger gap even a bit less in the back. They said I wouldn't need the plates with TRD but I dunno I still have more negative camber than I would like.
