lot of people have thought about it, but no one's done it. with so many different models of Camry's, nobody knows which hub to get.

you'd have to change the entire knuckle assembly... i dont think theres really anything that comes close to the tc suspension that we can use the same parts.. its kinda a waste of time IMO... unless you want to have better wheel selection..

better wheel selection is the exact reason why this idea crossed my mind =) i have a picture in my mind where i would need to find out or if anyone knows if camry (2003-2006 model years) axles are the same size as tC axles, size meaning the outer splines that go through the hub cause if that were the case, a camry hub could be pressed into the knuckle assembly and the tC axles would slide right through......?? ehh?? or should i just wake up from this dream =/

What about the xB2? It's 5x114. Anyone know where it gets its suspension from?

i was going to do this a little while back to run the rims i wanted because custom wasnt an option, i didnt want to use adapter, and i wanted to be the first to do it...

then they made a limited run of the rim size i wanted in our PCD...

so i bought those instead. lol

but IN for conversation!
