With the right offset, yes. Plenty of HC CRX guys run 225/45/15 tires all the way around on 15x8 wheels.

backyard never made a wing for our cars
their are other companies out there that did though but backyard is not one of them
live speed/sport

j's racing

J's racing actually does have a seriel code stamped on the under belly of the wing (at least the one I purchased from J's did)
Chargespeed does not have any marking only their lips

I have an OEM "I &lt;3 my Honda" static cling for anyone interested. Figured I'd give the EF'ers first dibs.

Yeah, if you look on the site, they actually indicate you can run them up front no problem and out back if you have the fenders rolled, which mine are, So I figure what the heck, why not.

Plus I think it will help the darty nature of the car with some sticky icky rubber.

I was going to post that same picture. That hatch is about to get swallowed by a Porsche, 2 vettes and Ferrari

If I'm in the market again for some wheels, those are it! 225's must be nuts on that car.

Are you serious? Read my statement again. I do that. As in ME. And don't make a statement that higher-powered cars are always faster. Let's remember weight, suspension, tires, etc.

Put me in a 911 cup car. I'll be faster. Put you in it. I'll smoke you.

I guess...but those guys drove like vaginas...if vaginas could drive.

I'm not here to prove my manhood...I was just saying that the hatch in the picture above could have EASILY dove in deep and passed all those cars. I'm no all-star, but it's not exaggerated to say that I have smashed several different types of cars...in a Honda.

I remember watching Ryan jam down the straight at Buttonwillow...and the Viper that just couldn't muscle past him.

And let me make one thing clear. When I say I can pass "high-powered" cars...I mean as a driver. Put a good driver in a "better" car and...duh!...he'll be faster.

Nobody (at least not myself) is challenging the fact that a civic/crx can't pass higher horsepower cars. Power to weight is a beautiful thing! I have to assume though that the hatch above has not passed those 4 cars in one corner. Most likely it's in a different group of cars, like LeMan's racing. Either way, it's cool that a civic can run faster times than more expensive cars

Man, you guys suprised me, I thought you would have been all over these, they are great track wheels with purpose, no real bling, great size and perfect offset. Now I wish I hadn't mentioned them, cause you guys will prolly roll these first.

I just would like to see how much they help the shorter wheelbase CRX as compared to the Civic.

it surprised the hell out of me to find out they will fit. I rub my inner fender well on 195/50's on my 6.5inch wheels. Ive seen these wheels before...mainly on Miatas though. They look sooo dope too.

Easy there nickrps. Please note my "lol" and " " face. You are right that a lot of those "higher end" cars get driven like vaginas. There's your reason that u, or anyone else for that matter, can outdrive them.

I made my comment assuming the driver in the high end car is at whatever level u think you're at. You put an old lady in a Lambo against a 16yr old driver in his moms camry and the kid would win! The driver is as, if not more, important as the car (duh).

You say you could beat me at road racing, but i'll say i can weld better than u with my eyes closed. Irrelevant info right?
