Finally got some new shoes for the V. Picked up some General Grabber AT2's 215/75-15. We also took her out and had some fun up in the hills of Santa Clarita, Artesian Springs Rd and parts of 6N07 . Thanks to Elton at Raceline Development for getting me the tires. If you guys are in LA call Elton he's the man.

I have a train horn I'm going to install in mine too! It's the horn blasters "jackass" kit. So awesome I had it in my EG hatch and my DA coupe.
now change of subject, what is everyone's gas mileage / km's to a tank and how much do you spend on fill up and are you city or highway driving
I spend $60 to fill (no matter the gas price)
I drive 98%city and 2% highway
if I drive highway I can reach 350kms, all city I'm 300kms
I'm almost thinking of putting my stock wheels and tires back on for the summer

Re: *Official H/T OFFROAD/LIFTED CR-V thread!*
so another tire fitment question .... will 225/65/17 BFG longtrail fit on my crv i am not sure of the offset of my current rim and i know they will rub a little the tires on there in the picture are 235/55/17.... does any one have a crv on that size tire/rim or have a total tire size of 28.5" ?
i don't regret any of these decisions but i do have to say i completely miss my little crv it was cheap and a great vehicle and any one who think of selling their don't do it just keep it because it saves you money and will last

Was talking to a couple people and mentioned I want to lift my CRV and they all say "DON'T DO IT!" saying I will wear out my other suspension components (ball joints etc.) very quickly.
For those of you with a lift, has it increased your repair bills significantly? Any obvious pitfalls I should be aware of going in? Was all gung-ho but a little hesitant now.

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

Have any of you had to shave your rear fender trim pieces? I just lifted my CRV with a set of new struts and OME springs. Wearing 235/75/15 tires and very little clearance in the rear.

Those silver wheels are sweet.
Got a bit of sag going on though.
And didn't have to trim anything in the back as the wheel travels up and backwards when the spring compresses. While there is very little clearance, everything should be ok. I had 6 people in the car and did not have issues.
I did trim the front though. Depending on the wheel offset, you'll be rubbing quite a bit in the turns.
