Camry 2007,2008 And 2009 Users - How Do You Cope With Bad Road. by Brilliant007: 6:05am On Nov 12, 2023
I have a Toyota camry 2007 xle. ( double exhaust )
I drive mainly on a good road however once in a while when I visit places with bad road.
My mind no dey touch ground.
I drive slowly and carefully.
People advise I should raise the car.
I love the current look of the car but I don't want to have issue with my exhaust systems.
Is it advisable to raise the Car ?

Don't try to raise your camry. I guess your camry comes with rim 16. if you don't mind the cost involved, you can change the rims to 17 this will give you better ground clearance.

I think he will be better off getting bigger profile tyres instead of those 17 inch rims.

If he buys bigger rims he will still buy bigger tyres to fit those new rims thereby spending more (205/60/16 to like say 195/55/17) but will look cool on the ride.

If he goes for just bigger tyres he will spend less. (205/60/16 to like say 215/65/16)

They will both give him the same or extremely similar results in ride height distance.

Another con with the 17 inch rim is that it will give you a harsher ride in terms of road surface vibration (especially if your suspension is not 100%) plus remember you have a spare tyre to also think about at the same time.
