CRV Lift & Tires?
So I have been looking for a reliable all season car and saw a few pictures of the crv with some cool "off road" mods. I won't be doing much or any off roading and was curious if bigger tires is even a good idea without any performance mods. I see people doing vtec conversions and I rather not go that far. I understand it depends on how much rotating mass I add just wondering if any of you stock crv guys have ran bigger tires maybe 30" ? What's your .02?

Re: CRV Lift & Tires?
I have the ome lift springs on the wife's crv and was able to fit 225/75/15's under the wheel wells with no rubbing / shimming needed. Drove them for about a month and then sold them.
Braking and acceleration were very noticeably worse (2 things the crv is already lacking in) and my MPG went down. Threw on some 215/70/15 and left it at that.

I'm running 235/75/15's on my 03. No lift and no rubbing issues whatsoever. Ride is stiffer and MPG's went down. Acceleration and braking are worse but still worth it.

i have the coloradomountainrally lift spacers on my crv with 215 75 15 tires. i also use mine as my daily, the lift was meant for a little more ground clearance for winter here in the Midwest. i have a 2000 with an automatic trans and average between 19-21 city mpg.
