Default Lifting 98 crv

Hello all,
we're lifting my 98 Cr-v, we've got an OME lift. Im curious what the biggest tire we can run on this is? I'd like to avoid bending back the lip of the fenders as I want to keep all the moldings because...well...I'm a cry baby and want it to look nice lol. We're going to try our hand at wrapping next!

Thanks for any advice!

is what I run, have a 2 inch lift and I don't think I could go much larger. They haven't ever rubbed even off road but its close

215/75-15 tires can be used without lifting. That's what I use and I have no issues whatsoever. Also, they make your speedometer read correctly (it reads high with factory-sized tires).

IMHO: the only practical reason to lift a vehicle is to be able to install larger tires, and you can't easily lift a CR-V high enough to do that. Lifting it for looks is fine, but be honest about it. Slight mods to the body to run larger tires is fine. But a lift alone doesn't buy you much off road. Just my thoughts, your mileage may vary.
