I think a 225 or a 235 on a 15x8 would be nice, maybe a Diamond D vented or similar.

When you lift the V, do you always require a camber correction kit?
I want to lift mij gen 02 CR-V by 1 or 2 inch.

Not with Gen 1, not many people have lifted a Gen 2.

Probably not though, CR-V usually have some negative camber from stock so raising it will only bring it back closer to neutral

havent wheeled yet bro. I removed the side skirts cuz thats what was rubbing the most. This week i will be doing some trimming and also touching up all the plastic on her (bumpers and side moldings). Im also gonna coat the wheel wells and all the bottom with that rubberized undercoating stuff.

after all this i will definately be hitting up the local offroad park. only 25 min from me and only $5 to get in!!

new tail lights and windshield tinted 50%

Well let me know how it works out man because i dont want to screw myself and get too big of tires where it wont flex any and im not too sure about cutting out the wheel wells just yet. Your crv looks good tho.

I jammed some rubber spacers in rear springs to help, but need to get a real lift soon. Still so much sag, especially with bikes on the back. I may get an OME setup, but have been looking at simple spacers.

Great, i just yanked them off! broke almost every clip. lol..I really like the way it looks without them. Ima bedline the step rails and install them hopefully next week. After closer examination, they are pretty scratched up.

I ended up using bedliner on my rear bumper...it looks great. Front bumper will get done tonight

HAHA! Thanks, it's on my list. I was planning to order some Plastidip, but I didn't realize you could get it at Home Depot. It's just been prioritized.

I have been debating on lifting mine or not. Right now I have it slammed, so no offroading for me, but I do have the stock suspension still for winter time. I'm just like being able to go offroading a little bit if I want to, can't go to crazy with these, they just don't have the HP and height really to be crazy offroad. That's the only thing I hate with just selling my 4X4 Blazer, I took that offroading all the time.

I took mine off mine and installed it on my wife CRV. I found a full front par that goes around the headlights, so I mite get it.

I use to have 6" lights on the one I had on my blazer, and I had 6000K 55W HID kit in them, people would get so pissed when I drove with them on, they where bright as hell lol

Greetings
I'm new to here in the forum but I would ask your help , I looking at your pictures, and I thought I was doing something similar. I have a Honda CR-V II (2003), a lift made ​​it, front 20mm rear 40mm, I drived it with 300 km and the rear drive became very loud, it would be possible to stretch the shaft? I dared to do this because I have seen bigger lifting in all, and 40 mm raised twice step. I did the first one i put a 20 mm ring under the spring and I made a cake of 20 mm to the front as well. (like your pictures) Please if you have any idea what went wrong write to me here or e-mail address: bence4456@gmail.com

Thank you very much Bence

Things to watch out for during the lifting:
- Change the bolt on the suspension to longer bolts to accommodate the Spacer's height
- Adjust the front Brake Lines because of the added height will put stress on the current Brake Lines, I moved it a bit higher.

Things to do:
Get bigger tires to fit
I might lower the rear spacer a bit. right now it's a bit too high

Has anybody who put cragar soft 8's with a +13mm offset had any bearing problems due to the fact that the wheels center has been moved outwards?

Thanks
