Umm what is your question? All that writing you never stated what help you wanted with the tires/wheels, you just went right into the tint and cops.

I wouldnt advice on going with 18's on a Camry unless you like potential problems to arise with the suspension, and driveline.

sorry about rambling before I was on no sleep and lots of coffee
I just bought the car and was looking to dress it up a bit.. its a 01 black le with silver rims heres what i need help on.
1.the car came with 17.5's on them i measured them again.. are 17.5's okay as far as safe wise?

2.I wanted to look into maybe lowering the car a bit it ,doesnt have low profile tires. before i was told its probably not best to get low pro tires on a camry and then lower it is that true?

3.looking for a good tint job at good price . wanted to do better then 50 35 but wasnt sure how the cops are here. are there in between percentages like 40 % and 30% or no?

thank you for any help in advance

1 there is no such thing as a 17.5" wheel on a camry. you have 17" rims. 18" rims will fit fine with 225/40/18 tires.
2 you can lower a camry easily. eibach makes a nice "pro-kit" that lowers at maybe 1.5" and gives it a better stance
3 i have 20% tint all around on my benz and have had zero problems. get 20%........youll be glad you did

forgive me if i seem dumb about cars just started getting into them now that i have a little extra time
the rims are aftermarket icw racing and each time friend measured got 17.5 but i dont think he counted the tips so i may already have 18's right? how much runnin for the eibach kit? right now doing 300 a month for the car to get it paid off quicker. so looking to fit stuff in budget but if its worth it ill try to get some overtime at my job. 20 % hmm wasnt thinking that dark. are there off percentages like 40 or 30? i work crazy hours so most stores arent open for me to look and they wont talk about it over the phone if i call from work. . there was a benz like that here in vb but it was under cover cop.

thank you for being helpful hmm have black camry with gold emblems and silver would mirror look better or black? i want mirror but dont would it to look ugly
