also was it required to use extended lugs with the spacers or would the wheels of fit with stock lugs and different lug nuts?? im trying to figure out what specs i will need to not use spacers because i dont feel like replacing my lugs basically because the previous owner had them all replaced after he snapped some off after moving back from germany less than 2 yrs ago

I know other people have used 10 mm spacers but im not big into wheel specs so i have no idea what that would equate to for additional off set.
Going to be using 2 of the 1.5" Strut Spacers for the Lift Coils Springs when they get here so i'll need to get 2 more 1.5" made from my Machinist. I want her CR-V to be High of the Ground for more Clearance. "pathfin9" on HondaSUV.com runs 215/75-15 BFG's w/ no Rubbing issues.

I bet if you go w/ a 4" Backspacing you might get away w/o using 1 or have a Tiny Rim Spacer, Nothing Serious.

Yeah I have read osx2000's write up's and have his page book marked for reference but i could never find if people had used extended lugs or just stock but since it wasnt mentioned by most i figured stock but I can get them from a fastenal for cheap. my wheels should be here any day so i will know soon enough

On the strut spacer situation I was thinking and the idea hit me like a rock in the face my buddy is the foreman for a big hydraulic and they got a beast lathe he is just gonna turn me down 4 blocks of aluminum to the same with and hole measurements as an oem top hot. So essentially your spacer but solid and I will have to installed extended lugs. Since I can make them whatever height I want but havnt decided yet I was thinking .75in front-1.25 back since the ironman already does 1.4in of lift but does not correct the reverse rack of the cr-v but to much could cause a problem with the axles I would imagine.

also congrats on another cr-v!

It'll be more Cost Effective to get the Ironman Lift Coil Springs from Camel4x4.com

The rim and tire combo is a great look. Any MPG loss with those tires? Or so small it isn't noticeable?

H2B Project was Scrap'd, would have to make a Whole New Adapter Plate since the Starter is on the Front of the Transmission w/ the RT CR-V.
