Default Wheels: How wide on a CRX?

Searched but couldnt find anything since you cant look up 3 letter words like CRX in the search. But anyway What is the Widest wheel you can put on a CRX with out having to get fender flares. This is on a 15" wheel. 15x7.5? 15x8? 15x8.5? 15x9?

I already know everything smaller then 15x7 will work fine. But can I go bigger?

well, u could put 8.5 with 205 width tire and prolly not need flare. but with 225 tire, you will. also, it sepends more on the offset of the wheel

yea. i have 15x7 and they rubbed. but it was the offset. my 15" steelies didnt rub in the rear. but there like +30something. my other wheels are +43. same tires on both and the +43 rub.

just remove the lip on the inside of that rear fender and you'll be ok.

It's 13x8s you've been seeing. A 15x8 on an 88-91 CRX will require fender modification.

if you search under 13x8 or street prepared in the rr/ax forum, you should find some pics.
