Euro 16" Wheels on a CRV 2002?

[Suntzu]

Hi guys.

Im a lucky bastard and have two hondas ;) . A 2002 CRV Sport and a 2005 Euro in Milano red.:)

I changed the wheels on the Euro to 18" speedys when I got it.

My 2002 CRV needs new tyres and I was thinking of changing its stock 15 inch alloys for the nicer 16 inch standard Euro ones.

Can anyone tell me if they will fit?
Ie is the offset of the euro the same as the CRV etc?
Looking for any advice.
Also, whats a decent road tyre for the CRv, my current ones are very poor.

cheers

Mate I have a 2002 CRV and a 06 Civi. Mate the wheels on the euro will fit the CRV no problems. Do u need CRV carpat mats?

The offset should be 55 for both cars, have a look on the inside of the CRV wheels to ensure they are 55 offset (its stamped on the back of the rim).

As long as the wheel does not extrude out past the side wheel guards, it will be fine/legal.

Thats the info I needed. Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

It will look a bit better with the 16's over the 15's I think.

Anyone fitted larger swaybars to their CRV. Whiteline are recommending a solid set to improve the boat like handling of my CRV.

Any experiences with bigger sway bars on CRVs?

Forgot to add that I did fit my Euro 16" and new tyres to my 2002 CRV and it looks WAY better than the stock 15. Real happy with it. Recommended if you are after cheap perfectly fitting 16 inch alloys for your CRV. Theres always Euro 16's on ebay.
