I'm in the market for some rims on my 88 CRX HF. I know that 16's can go on easily with the stock setup, but how about 17's? I'm most likely going to put new shocks and lowering springs on to drop it no more than 2 inches. If i do this suspension work, will i be able to put 17's on with no problem? how about tire rub and would i need to worry about the tire hitting the top of the wheel well? Some one said i would need a camber kit but i didn't know if it was a must for the 17's...if i do need a kit for the 17's how hard is the kit to install? THANKS!!!

 

i have 16's and they are GREAT! =] 17's will make it look 4x4, i would go with 15-16 at the largest!

 

15's

 

I have 18's with wide body and mine doesn't look 4x4!!!! i love them. some rub when turning really hard but nothin major.

 

205 50 15.....dont mess with your speedo too much and look damn nice with about a 2" drop....comfortable ride.......

 

205/40/16 is good for me. I swear to god everytime i look in the ef section there is always someone posting about putting 17's on their rex

 

14" HX or Si wheels.

 

I have 17's and love them.. and it doenst look like a 4x4.... the tire rub can be gone if you roll your fenders..

 

What does rolling your fenders entitle? Is it hard? CRXtreme27, do you have a drop on your car? I've heard of 17's fitting on and looking good, but i didn't know if they would fit easily on a lowered car...with no more than a 2" drop. THANKS!!!

 

Rolling your fenders is when you stick a baseball bat in the gap between your rim and fender and roll the lip around your fender.... I have my 17s with almost a 3" inch drop.... i have ground controls and they are almost all the way down.... by the way, the tire i am using is 205/40/17, i think 205 would be the widesst you can go...

 

I just got some 15" Rota Slipstreams in flat black with 205 50 15 Kuhmo rubber...damn they look good, and it is still stock height! I need to drop it about 1 1/2"....gotta get some pics....
