I currently have a 2000 Honda CR-V with the factory 15x6 wheels with standard 205/70R15 tires. I want to put a set of Cragar D Window or Soft 8's on that are 15x7. In addition I want to increase the tire size to 215/75R15. I want to do this without lifting it. From research I've done it seems the tires won't be an issue on the factory wheels but I need help choosing the correct offset for the wheels or if spacers are needed. I've been search for at least two hours but with so many numbers I have a headache and I'm terrible with numbers. Hopefully someone with great knowledge of offsets and numbers can easily help me move forward with what "should" fit.

Thanks so much!

Where's the question in there? Are you looking to know what offset you should run on a 15x7 to clear 215/75R15's?

You'll need a 3-5mm spacer to clear the front caliper.

Without lifting, you may rub on the front fenders in a full lock turn.

For the rear you may rub if you fully compress the suspension and stuff the wheel in the well.

I believe that's about it. Check the 'lifted/off-road CR-V thread' in the CR-V forum for pics/info. It's a lot of pages but well worth it.

Yes

I appreciate the good info! I was thinking of a 0mm offset for the wheel and a 6mm spacer, is this acceptable in your experienced opinion? I have been look at that thread and your right is a bit long but a lot of good info in there . Thanks again!!

Considering the stock offset is around a +45... I'd lean towards a 15x7 +25 with the tire size you're looking to run. A +0 offset would stick out past the bodylines by about an inch.

The only problem with that is you can't find crager wheels with a +25 due to the design. The face of the wheel is flat, it's a stamped wheel, not machined.

The only way to run them is have a flat hub on the axle (like a rear drum) or you have to run a spacer to clear the brake caliper.

Think off-road Jeep wheels, which they essentially are.

Yeah, I know about Cragar. I was referring to sizing more so then the brand specifically.
