Will 15 inch steel LE rims fit SE?
I was just wondering if the 15 inch steel rims on a 2003 LE fit the SE? I'm
looking at getting a set of winter tires put on those rims.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks,
Tony

That not what a few dealers in Toronto tell me? I thought the same thing but
things don't seem to point in that direction.

I suspect the brake calipers will hit. Check www.tirerack.com -- they
support only the 16" steel wheel. Ya could always try one - dealer/junk yard
may have a bent one or extra that he would let you try.

You're saying that the SE has different brakes than the LE? I highly doubt
that but I don't know for fact...I thought the SE was all about upgraded
suspension and some cosmetic stuff.
Well, I'm about to put on some 15" steelies on my 2003 LE V6, and I don't
anticipate any problems!

May I ask why you're going to 15" from 16"?

Re: Will 15 inch steel LE rims fit SE?
My '03 4cyl SE has rear disc brakes and the 4 cyl LE doesn't (it has drums
in rear) so there is one brake difference. Know for act that on 4Rnrs
around '99 that the 15" wheels would not fit those that came with 16"
wheels -- the rotor and brake caliper were large on the 16" version. I put
Tacoma 2wd alloy wheels on older 2wd PU and had to add 1/4 spacer to clear
the calipers and tie rod ends.
Suspect the 15" steels wheels are much easier to come by than the 16" ones
plus the tires are probably cheaper and there's a bigger selection in 15".

Re: Will 15 inch steel LE rims fit SE?
Well,
Let me fill you guys in as to why I'm asking. I thought the same thing as
others. I highly doubt that the SE had different front brakes than the LE so
I went ahead and ordered LE 15 rims and got new snow tires mounted on them
and proceeded to put them on my 2003 SE. Guess what? They don't fit!
I doubted that the 15 wouldn't fit so much so that I called another dealer
and double checked the part number of the 15 inch rims an guess what? The
dealer sold me the incorrect 15 rims. So I got him to order me the correct
ones and remount the tires. Guess what? The don't fit! I freaked! Now I'm on
the phone calling other dealers to see if I can even fit 15 inch rims on the
SE. They aren't positive but they don't suggest that you put the 15 inch
rims on the SE. Some even went as far to say that the hub is bigger but they
didn't seem positive.
When trying to put the 15 rims on the SE they were both just about 5mm off
in size. They were very close and that's why I thought that maybe there was
a specific 15 rim for the LE. But that wasn't the case.
And why did I want 15 instead of 16 steel rims? The 15 inch tires are
cheaper to buy.
I still can't believe the front brakes on the SE are larger than the LE. But
one thing to keep in mind, and I suspect this is the reason for the brake
size issue, all Canadian model Camry's have ABS except for the LE 4 cyld.
Now the LE V6 has ABS but it comes with 15 mag wheels.
I wish someone who works at a dealer could verify any of this here on this
newsgroup.
