My bad, flopshot. Even without the drop your larger tires fill the wheel wells nicely. I went with 225/45/18 tires so the gap is more pronounced. They're Avon Tech M500, a very quiet tire at high speeds. The goal was to keep it within 1% of stock diameter to keep the speedo and navi in check (despite the reported errors). I originally wanted to go with a 235 width but was concerned about impacting FE with the added weight and friction. My wheel/tire setup is actually lighter than stock - combine this with the shorter and stiffer sidewall, and FE is relatively unchanged. The only downside is a slight decrease in ride quality.. a small price to pay for not looking like every other 6th gen Camry.

What PSI are you running btw?
