i am interested in buying new wheels for my crx. how big of rims can you put on a crx of that year? would putting on bigger rims adjust factory height?

 

16's will fit, 17's are pushing it. The problem is that with the reduced aspect ratio of 16's or 17's, your CRX will begin to look like a 4x4 even though ride height is virtually unchanged. You will definately want to lower the car with wheels of that size.
Personally, I don't like the ride of anything larger than a 15" wheel with 195/50-15 tires.

I personally owned a 90 crx...when i put my 17" rims on (niche) it messed up my steering, I couldn't turn the wheel like half, it rubbed all the time...If anything stick to the 16".....17" are to rough of a ride...16" look just as good.
