im doing that today and need to know what size to get, the kits arent cheap so im not buying 3 just to see what fits and a dealership has no idea.

does anyone know if the 18" TRD wheels that come as a option on the 07 Camrys have the same bolt pattern as my car?

you're helicoiling the exhaust side of the head?


If so, go to napa and pick up a 7/16x14 heli coil kit, with a 29/64" standard length dril bit, and 7/16x2.5 ( i believe its 2.5" long.. not sure ).. Make sure you buy the studs that are course on one side, and fine threads on the other side so you get a more percise torque on the nuts. 7/16" is the largest that will fit into the exhaust manifold without drilling it out. me and jim just did it on my motor a tiny bit ago.

1st Gen Camrys are 5x100 pattern. All after that are 5x114.3, just like the Supra.

My guess is that yes, they would fit, but it's hard to say without knowing the width/offset.
