17" rims?
17" rims? bad idea? will they fit?

on my wifes 96 camry right now. I haven't had a close look, I don't know the offset or tire sidewalls. Will they fit on my vert or is 16 the biggest I can go?

yah i have 17s they fit just fine.. but it all depends on how big of a tirewall you want i guess. my 40mm wall fits fine, I bet you could get away with a 45 or 50 mm wall if you wanted for some reason

the 35, 40, 45 isn't directly millimeters - it's aspect ratio. A 255/45 has a bigger sidewall than a 205/45. Check this page for some workable sizes:
