2008 Honda CR-V Wheel Interchange

2008 Honda CR-V Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2008 Honda CR-V

The following specifications are the known fitment data available for the 2008 Honda CR-V on this page. Equipment can vary by trim, market, wheel package, or replacement parts, so confirm the original wheel and tire information on the vehicle before purchasing.

Bolt pattern, center bore, offset, wheel width, and brake clearance all affect fitment. A wheel can have the correct bolt pattern and still fail to fit because of center-bore, spoke, suspension, fender, or brake-clearance issues. Confirm the specifications with the Honda owner’s manual, the vehicle identification label, the current wheel markings, and a reputable wheel manufacturer before ordering.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

Use the calculator to compare wheels from a donor vehicle with wheels installed on your 2008 Honda CR-V. Enter or review the donor wheel diameter, width, and offset, then compare those values with the installed wheel information.

The calculator also allows custom wheel and tire inputs. Use the custom wheel size fields for rim diameter, rim width, and offset. Use the custom tire size fields for tire section width and aspect ratio. The tire rim diameter should match the rim diameter selected for that comparison.

Changing rim diameter updates the calculated tire diameter in the comparison. Review changes in overall diameter, wheel position, and tire width rather than relying only on the bolt pattern. The calculator is a screening tool, not a substitute for physically checking brake, suspension, fender, hub, and tire clearance.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

Compare the complete wheel and tire combination with the known data above. Verify the donor wheel’s stamped or manufacturer-listed diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and center bore. Do not assume that a wheel from another vehicle will fit simply because it has five lug holes.

• Confirm the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
• Check that the center bore is compatible with the 64.1 mm hub. A larger bore may require correctly specified hub-centric rings, while a smaller bore will not fit over the hub.
• Confirm the wheel offset and width with the calculator and the wheel manufacturer.
• Check inner clearance to the brake caliper, strut, suspension components, and hub assembly.
• Check outer clearance to the fender, liner, and mud flap through the full steering and suspension range.
• Verify the tire load rating, speed rating, diameter, and inflation requirements using the vehicle placard and tire manufacturer information.
• Confirm the lug nut thread size and the correct seat type for the specific wheel. M12 x 1.5 thread size alone does not identify the correct lug nut seat.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing means changing the wheel diameter while selecting a tire with a different sidewall height. The goal is to maintain a suitable overall tire diameter while changing wheel appearance or handling characteristics. The known reference tire for this page is 225/65R17 on a 17 x 6.5 inch wheel with ET50.

Do not select a replacement tire based on wheel diameter alone. Changing tire width, aspect ratio, or wheel offset can affect speedometer accuracy, ground clearance, steering feel, road noise, ride comfort, and clearance. Use the calculator to compare the proposed custom tire and wheel combination with the installed reference, then verify the final size with a tire professional and the vehicle manufacturer’s guidance.

No additional compatible wheel or tire sizes are confirmed by the information provided here. If your trim, market, or current vehicle configuration differs from the reference data, use the door-jamb placard, owner’s manual, and original wheel markings to establish the correct baseline.

Installation Tips

Before installation, clean the hub mounting face and the wheel’s mating surface. Remove rust, dirt, and loose corrosion without removing metal from the hub or wheel. Test-fit one wheel on the front and rear axle, when appropriate, and rotate it by hand to check for obvious interference before installing the full set.

Install only lug nuts that match the wheel’s seat design and the vehicle’s M12 x 1.5 thread specification. Start each lug nut by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star pattern and use the vehicle or wheel manufacturer’s specified torque with a calibrated torque wrench. Do not use an impact gun for final tightening.

After driving a short distance, recheck lug torque when required by the wheel manufacturer or installer. Check tire pressure when the tires are cold and inspect for rubbing after steering from lock to lock. Any contact with suspension, brake, body, or liner components requires correction before normal driving.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

A calibrated torque wrench, suitable socket, tire pressure gauge, jack, and properly rated jack stands are useful for a wheel installation. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Follow the jack-point and support instructions in the Honda owner’s manual.

• Automotive torque wrench for final lug tightening.
• Digital tire pressure gauge for checking cold tire pressure.
• Wheel chocks and vehicle-rated jack stands for safe support.
• A non-metallic cleaning brush and appropriate brake or parts cleaner for the hub mounting surface.

Use the vehicle owner’s manual and the wheel manufacturer’s instructions for torque values, lifting points, lug nut requirements, and any special procedures. The exact values are not supplied in the fitment data on this page.

FAQs

What is the bolt pattern for a 2008 Honda CR-V?

The known bolt pattern is 5x114.3. Confirm the pattern on the vehicle and the replacement wheel before purchase because bolt pattern alone does not guarantee fitment.

What is the center bore for the 2008 Honda CR-V?

The known center bore is 64.1 mm. A replacement wheel must have a compatible center bore. A larger bore may need properly sized hub-centric rings, while a smaller bore cannot fit over the hub.

What wheel size is listed for this 2008 Honda CR-V?

The known reference wheel is 17 x 6.5 inches with an ET50 offset. Trim and market differences are possible, so compare this information with the vehicle’s current wheel and OEM documentation.

What tire size is listed for this 2008 Honda CR-V?

The known reference tire size is 225/65R17. Confirm the correct tire size, load rating, and inflation information on the driver-side tire and loading label and in the owner’s manual before replacing tires.

Can I use wheels from another vehicle with the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern?

Not automatically. The donor wheel must also be checked for center bore, width, offset, brake clearance, suspension clearance, fender clearance, lug nut seat, and load capacity. Use the wheel interchange calculator for an initial comparison and verify the final fit physically and with the wheel manufacturer.

What does ET50 mean?

ET50 is the wheel offset, expressed in millimeters. It describes the wheel’s mounting position relative to its centerline. Changing offset can move the wheel inward or outward, so compare the proposed offset and width with the known 6.5 inch, ET50 reference.

Does changing the rim diameter change the tire diameter?

In the calculator, changing rim diameter updates the tire diameter in the comparison. A different rim diameter requires a compatible tire size, and the resulting overall diameter and clearance must be checked before installation.

What lug nuts does this vehicle use?

The known thread size is M12 x 1.5. The correct lug nut seat style, shank dimensions, and washer requirements depend on the wheel design, so do not choose lug nuts from thread size alone. Confirm the requirements with the wheel manufacturer and Honda service information.
