Looks like they would fit perfectly measurement wise (would be a little wider than oem but I’m cool with that). The only thing that worries me is the fords center bore is 63.3 and the honda is 64 will this still work? Also can I move the TPMS over? They are very alike in design. Seller already got rid of the center caps I wouldn’t use them in this application anyway. Need replacement wheels because mine are so rusty and these are going cheep.

eh..... like the wheels
now find a nice practical vehicle to put them on..... like a de tomaso pantera
:p
(i think they’ll work on a cr-v....)

I like it aesthetically, though I’d probably put a blank cap in the center.
I’d prefer lighter alloys, but if the price is right...

This is our beater. I’d go Pantera all day over this!

Thats one thing I’m worried about, don’t want to weigh it down to much with this weak ass power plant.

the bolt pattern is the same and the offset and backspacing are pretty close. The hub is going to be a crapshoot, though, because there’s always tolerances in play. if the nominal hub diameter is 63.3mm +/- whatever, and the wheel bore is 64mm +/- whatever, you can run into the situation where the hub is at maximum allowed diameter and the bore is at minimum. and it’s risky to try to modify it because the hub is what ensure’s the wheel is centered correctly.
similar to my Ranger’s brakes. I bought a pair of rear rotors for it and they would not slide onto the axle flange. it wasn’t a matter of dirt or rust, I cleaned the shit off of the surfaces. the center hub has a slight “step” as it meets the flange, and the rotors’ bores were machined too small. I had to go to a different parts store and get another set.

Luckly the guy is local and willing to let me put them on to test fit.

Heavier wheels on an already under powered car sounds like a bad time.
It’s crazy how much more strain it puts on a vehicle.

kind find how much heavier they are. It is a worry for sure.

I think it will look great. But yeah heavy wheels suck. Although with a cr-v I’m guessing you’re not TOO concerned with steering feel and handling prowess

Not sure how much heavier it would be. The cr-v uses a 17 inch steel wheel so it not really to crazy to think they are that far apart

If the lug nuts are self centering cone type the center bore does not matter.(as long as the wheels cb is the same or larger)

Well in that case I say go for it! You might be able to find hub centering rings that help with center bore issues. Idk, it’s not a problem I’ve ran into but I’ve seen them for sale

Are you sure it has a TPMS because not all hondas do. My wife’s ‘17 Civic does not, it relies on measuring rotational speed differences to identify a low tire.
