I recently acquired a 2011 Toyota Camry Base model. The current tire sizes on car come to 215/45R17. The actual OEM size is 215/60R16. The previous owner changed the tires for a sporty look. I wanted to weigh in the benefits of changing back to the OEM spec as it is a costly change and I don’t want to change for no reason.

Thanks.

    Some Camry’s came with 17” wheels. As long as yours are the correct offset and matching tire size then I wouldn’t worry about.

    Go to tirerack dot com and check the diameter of each of your tire choices. As long as the diameter is the same that solves one potential problem. The other potential problems are the backspacing and offset of the wheels that were installed. So long as the wheels sit properly for the suspension and the rolling diameter/circumference are the same you are ok

    The OEM size is about 6% larger than what you have now, so your speedometer is likely a bit off. There isn’t too much incentive to change back, really. Stock size is probably cheaper and more comfortable but not significantly. You could also just get 215/55R17 tires which will be the same diameter as stock and that way you don’t have to buy new wheels.
