*Official H/T OFFROAD/LIFTED CR-V thread!*
they should work ... this is my humble opinion but I personally wouldn't run them just cause there cheap Chinese knock offs and have heard some horror story's of low cost adapter spacers .... the know the ones from Motorsport are USA made to order and come with warranty ... I had them even make 4 inch thick 8 lug adapter spacers for f350 super duty ...I originally was gonna had some made for the crv but scored wheels for Cheap so I didn't get them !
I've been using these for a year with no issues other than a shop I took the car to sent one in with the scrap.

Can anybody help with a wheel decision....looking at cragar soft 8's. +6 or 0 offset? I don't want sticking out too much- maybe flush with fender? Also, about the wheel spacers....what mm do I need? Can anybody help? Thanks!

i have 15x8 +25 on my 2003 ... there pretty flush with the fenders
... if you go 15x7 0 offset it will also be flush
pic for reference
Yeah that looks nice. I'm thinking 15x7 with 0 offset then. What is the smallest spacer I can use to clear caliper? Would I use spacers on all 4 wheels or just the fronts? Thanks!
you can get away with 5mm from everything I had read... yes you can use on all f4 corners ... just make sure to retorted wheels after the first a couple of miles if your going to run spacers

foam tape stick ons... eBay 22.00 shipped ... they work fine and stick well as long as you fallow directions and use a heat gun or hair dryer to properly warm up the tape and surface
Got all my parts in! The tema 4x4 spacers 30mm, BORA 1.5" wheel spacers, SPC camber adjustment front and rear.
I want to tackle this job on my own, it seems pretty straight forward. I have worked on suspension on a few cars before, just not the 2005 crv. I only have service book for a 2002 crv..should be good enough. Anyone chime in with some tricks and tips for putting the tema4x4 kit on a 2005 gen2?

Since I´m going for the 2nd Gen facelift, I have to have 16" rims.
I found a cheap nice cragar looking set of rims (since cragar is expensive on this side of the sea)
These are 16x7" ET30 which I am planning on putting 225/70 Yokohama G015´s on.
So to get them more flush or even sticking out from the fenders, I would need hubcentric spacers about 10-20mm? which would give me ET20 or ET10? Correct?
Would I need additional spacers to clear the brake calipers or does the hubcentric ones do that job?
Found this Honda element kit, was curious if it would fit on our gen 2 crv??HONDA ELEMENT 3" LIFT KIT 2003-2011 4WD 2WD EX LX SC | eBay
Just got my TEMA-4x4 30mm spacers and some other goods. I went with the MOOG problem solver rear camber kit and front SPC camber bolts. Moog everything else has done me well. Wondering if I should get the ARB USA .75" rear springs for loads and leveling before install. Any thoughts for my 03? Want to get some Bilstein HD's, but KYBs are more in the budget...and on $100 rebate through RockAuto.
I too would love to get some help with my spacer install in the form of some video/pics if you get to it sooner than me Krafty-Max. --I am wondering how to get the old shock mounting studs out, once the spring is compressed and off along with the hat. Do i thread the nut back on and hammer whack it back through
? Also, how are the new ones secured to the hat, just via tightening the assembly back together on the car? Should be simple enough right? Thanks HT

or you can press them in or out if you have access to one
I'm about to order the tema4x4 20mm spacer kit for my '05. With the slightly smaller lift, do you guys think I'll still need the alignment adjusting parts? I figure 33% less lift compared to the 30mm kit, should put my rear camber out to +1.65* instead of +2.5* (if the ratio is linear haha) and that seems like maybe it could be dialed out without aftermarket parts... 
Also, how long did it take to arrive from Russia? Does it really take the full 1.5 to 2 months like eBay says? (I'm moving at the end of September).

Finally got the turbo CRV on the road. After I finish up the tune and make sure everything is good with the new setup I'll be installing my roof basket and looking at the suspension. I'm also looking for an element rear diff right now because I hear they engage a little better, and I've got some traction problems on the street. Does anyone know of a tire that can handle light off-road duty but has good handling characteristics on the road?
