Oh OK.
I should do the maths right now but my brain hurts.
Do you know or have you seen it documented what one degree is equivalent to movement on the top of the wheel ?

if you run 18x9.5x35 on the rear using a 265x35 (9.5) tire you will need to get you guards rolled if you had a stretch tire you get away with it perhaps a 255 as mine were rubbing slighty

There are some TRD centre caps for sale on ebay , might be knock offs ?
Also Keith has a restitced version A for sale at a cheap price of $1300 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mind you it looks like a very good job.
In all seriousness he does have a very rare part, that wheel as its new.
Unlikely ever to find one

The thing is that i have only found one tyre 235/40/17 that is legal. The rear wheel has to have a minimum of 91 rating and all i can find is dunlop sports maxx.

Maxxis MA-Z1 is also legal in that size. Damn weight loadings. Try a few other shops, I think there are some Toyo's that are legal as well.

So ive made the ends and attached to the holding brackets. They have oversized holes so as i can move them so as to sit flush with the plastic bezel     So now its of to be anodized flat black. Then ill start the wiring then make a new aluminium box to house the MoTec MDD in the spot where the TOM TOM is.

haha nice, you really have all bases covered don't you.
When you say you 'made them', are they CNC'd?

No Used the OEM Camry centre cap and filled down the back clips  Then i took off the SSR badge from the steel base. Cleaned off all the double sided adhesive  Then used sikaflex 255 FAST CURE ( Urethane moisture adhesive for windscreen ) to join the two pieces   Then just push them in :) Now they look like an OEM rim , very happy :)

very neat. :)
i think i would've painted them the silver of the wheels though. they stand out here. was the original wheel they were off a turned finish, or polished?
