Fitment Advice, Cragar Wheels, Bigger Tires
I currently have a 2000 Honda CR-V with the factory 15x6 wheels with standard 205/70R15 tires. I want to put a set of Cragar D Window or Soft 8's on that are 15x7. In addition I want to increase the tire size to 215/75R15. I want to do this without lifting it. From research I've done it seems the tires won't be an issue on the factory wheels but I need help choosing the correct offset for the wheels or if spacers are needed. I've been search for at least two hours but with so many numbers I have a headache and I'm terrible with numbers. Hopefully someone with great knowledge of offsets and numbers can easily help me move forward with what "should" fit.
Thanks so much!

You'll need a 3-5mm spacer to clear the front caliper.
Without lifting, you may rub on the front fenders in a full lock turn.
For the rear you may rub if you fully compress the suspension and stuff the wheel in the well.
I believe that's about it. Check the 'lifted/off-road CR-V thread' in the CR-V forum for pics/info. It's a lot of pages but well worth it.

The only way to run them is have a flat hub on the axle (like a rear drum) or you have to run a spacer to clear the brake caliper.
Think off-road Jeep wheels, which they essentially are.

The only problem with that is you can't find crager wheels with a +25 due to the design. The face of the wheel is flat, it's a stamped wheel, not machined.
