i am trying to run my car in the radial class and everyone i have talked to said that i can not fit 235 60 15 on my crx can someone point me in the right direction to getting these tire to fit on my car


please post pics also

 

that will not work unless u are running at least a +20 offset maybe even 0.
that is if it even fits in the wheel well.

Yea I just don't see that fitting in there.

A 235/60/15 is almost 3" taller than the stock size tire and pretty wide too.

 

someone has done this before please reply

 

I have 205 40 17 wheels on my crx, they are a tight fit, occassionally they do rub, I do believe that you can buy spacers I don't think that that's what theyre called , but they are mounted onto the hub first, & then you can mount u'r tire onto them, I v've seen a mazda 323 with that & does make the car look RUDE!!

im wondering how will 235 fit on 15 even with the above mention, that would look awkward

Is the "radial class" some sort of drag racing or circle track class? Are there any other restrictions for the tire DOT approval/treadwear rating/etc.? Are you choosing this size for width or height/gearing or both? Can't you find something with a shorter sidewall that gives you as much/more grip (I'm assuming longitudinal grip rather than lateral is desired)?

As previously noted, 235-60-15 is ~26.1" O.D., stock the CRX came with a ~22.8" O.D. That +3" increase is going to require a lot of work... assuming this is only for the front:

1) Lower the car at least ~1.5" to compensate for the increase in ride height. I assume FWD drag guys still require a low Cg in the front.
2) You're also loosing ~1.5" fender well clearance... Remove the fender linner/splashguard. Then cut the front fenders/cut & add flares/have a replacement flared fender made (custom). You might even have to cut the back part of the front bumper skin, I think the front wheel opening is smaller than 26.1". Or just use one of those one-piece wide front ends.
3) Also previously noted, you'll need to get some wheels with a very, very low offset. Probably lower than what you'd normally need because @ ~26.1" O.D. you run the risk of hitting the bend in the knuckle where the upper balljoint is located.
4) Now because you did #1 and the tire is so tall, the upper control arm might be hitting the upper frame rail. So you might have to cut out some of the frame/unibody like the way people who airbag their cars do.
