Thread: Wheels on the CR-V

  1. #1

    Default Wheels on the CR-V

    These are the stock wheels and tires from my wifes RSX. Wheel size is the same.. 16x6.5, but the tires are 205/55 instead of 215/65.

    What do ya think?

    My .02$ is that they look a little small. Not a bad attempt, but it makes it look like a roller-skate.

    Wheels look good, but they are too small.

    The wheel does look great. Now you need to go the extra mile and swap the 215/65/16s on to them.

    Agreed. The wheels do look good.

    Go ahead and swap the tires, too. You'll have much shorter gear ratios with the smaller tires and the 205's don't fill the fenders.

    I'm gonna have to order some new 215/65 and use these 205/55 till they come in. I had a flat with the original 215/65, plus they were pretty used up anyway.

    Order your tires from edgeracing.com. They sell passenger tires as well. Best deals I can find on tires.

    You need some 17's from the 05-06 Type-S

    Or you could try the Accord 18's, they are fairly cheap, but they don't look all that great.

    07 TL Type-S wheels would look sweet...

    Like the wheels, but you need a taller tire to fill in the wheelwells.

    Either that or you could slam it, I guess.

    The CR-V looks good dumped like that! Just Do Eeeet!

    There was a red CR-V at the weekly meet about 3 weeks back that was dropped a bit, had some mild body mods and accord wheels like these:

    While the body mods were not exactly what I'd do, I rather liked the wheels. I just hope I don't have to explain why...because I have no idea.

    I have a similar question. I have a 07 CR-V with steel 17" wheels and looking into upgrade. What wheels (offset, width etc.) will fit? Also, I like to keep the tire pressure sensor too.
