Since the last one was a thread inside a thread, I figured we should start a new one.

-Post up pictures of your Offroad/Lifted CR-V!!

I'll start with mine:

2001 Electron Blue Pearl Honda CR-V
5 Speed
15x7 (0 offset) Crager Soft8 with 8mm spacers
Old Man Emu springs

 

nice

 

this will be a really good thread

 

Thanks man!
Hope so! There are a lot more people buying CR-V's. Just thought this would help the CR-V section a little more organized.

 

Nice. Id love to see if anyone has any pictures of a lifted 1st Gen CRV with factory wheels and tires (or factory size anyway)? Post it up if you do please!

 

can we post pictures off crv's with just bigger tires too ? off roady looking v's ? and can u change the name of the thread then too ?

 

Nice Crv . I just purchased mine 2 weeks n I can't wait to modify mines.

 

4cylfriend, did you have the CRV at IFO in ohio Fall last year?

 

i want a crv!!! that ebp is sexy

 

Yep! Post away! I have edited the thread title as well. Good suggestion!
Thanks man! You are gonna love it.
Yep, I was there in Columbus for IFO twice last year. This year I will be a participant
Thanks alot brother. I suggest you get one, there is something about them that makes them alot of fun.

 

Haha, thought i remembered seeing this their! You had it posted up by the fence i believe. Why i remeber IDK. Ill be out there this year as well!

 

not really lifted, but giant tires with my coilovers all the way up.

Skunk2 Accord Sleeve Type Coilovers all the way up without too much preload.
225/60r18 Firestore Winterforce tires on 2011 Ralliart 18" rims.

 

Haha yep, posted! Must have been walking by seeing, Car-Car-Car-WTFISTHAT-Car-Car, Etc. Haha.
Your Crv looks good man. Do you have any issues with rubbing at all?

 

thanks. rubs at full lock even after some smashing and grinding. some wheel spacers would fix it but its not worth it as its in winter mode and will never be winter driven again.

 

Here's mine. Lifted on OME springs and Sensen struts.



Seriously considering the Soft8's because I want the more aggressive offset now that it's actually lifted.

 

Your CRV is in really good shape! I love the color, but I may be partial to it as well

What size tires do you have on it now?

 

Wheels are 15". Tires are 215/75/15.

 

Ahh I gotcha. Same size as mine then.

 

Just ordered the Cragar D-windows off of Summit, along with some 1/2" spacers. 15x7 6mm offset +4.25" backspacing. Should be rad. :-D

 

Those 1/2" spacers are gonna put them out there! That will look really good. I would just make sure you have enough thread sticking out of the studs.

 

Yeah I'll definitely test fit it first before having the tires dismounted from my existing wheels. OSX2000 ran basically the same setup on the same wheels and said that due to the decreased thickness of the steel wheels vs typical aluminum wheels it pretty much balanced out almost exactly. I was just trying to find the old thread about it. Makes sense though, since steel wheels aren't nearly as thick as aluminum wheels.

 

Interesting. Post up a pic when you get it all mounted!

 

Got my D's on today. For anyone wanting to do the same thing, you can order part number BSP-WSG5L250 for the wheels and part number CRR-3425712P for the spacers from Summit Racing. My lug bolts are stock and there is PLENTY of room even after the spacers since the wheels are much thinner than aluminum wheels. I measured as best I could Crager wheel + spacer vs. the OEM wheels vs. the MB Motoring wheels that I had on the CRV in the pics above, and there was virtually no difference between them.

FYI for anyone who cares, the tires are 215/75/15 and I did not have to cut anything or grind on the calipers. I used OEM Honda lug nuts. Now that I think about it, in case Summit changes their part numbers - here are the specs of the spacers and the wheels:

I also removed the stock mud flaps front and rear. Before anyone asks - no I'm not getting rid of them. I just took them off because they looked a little odd given the fact that the wheels/tires stick out further than the flaps did. :-)

I hope this information helps some people out. When I was researching how to make these wheels work I got a lot of conflicting information. One of the forum posts I read mentioned the same wheels and said "I would need a 1" spacer to even come close to making these work, so I took the wheels back." That was enough to scare me away from them the first time. At that time there wasn't a lot of people with this setup though, so I felt more comfortable going at it this time.

Even still, like I said, I hope this helps someone out who's searching. Anyway, enough with numbers - here are the wheels:





Back typically sits around 1/4-1/2" higher, but it's loaded down with a ton of stuff right now, including a jack, 4 stock wheels and tires, and the 4 MB wheels I took off. Still, I'm happy with it. :-) When my bug shield comes tomorrow I might install that and take some pics with a real camera.

 

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks dude.
