Is your car lowered? If so, how much? You may run into rubbing issues, depending on how low your car is and what the offset of the rims are.

for a crx i think 16" will be a little to big even with slamm tires so just get 15" instead.

NO 15's or under. Rule of thumb only use wheels big enough to clear your brakes.

Here are some pictures of 15 inch and 16 inch rims on my car. I dont think I would go any bigger than 17 for the fact of more rotating mass, ( reducing performance ) and I think anything bigger than 16 makes a CRX look like a HotWheels car.

It all depends though at the whole picture. If the CRX has a body kit on it, it can get away with bigger wheels. Also some 17's look decent on a small car as the CRX depending on the style.

Usually rims with "Lips" around the outside "look" smaller than they really are.

Its a matter of preference though and to each and their own.

This is mine on 17's 205/50. Stock si wheels going back on when I get money for azenis. BTW: these wheels are for sale if anyone is interested. Come with tires with over 50% tread left.
