    Have 14x7 with 225/50 tires on our A car, with 38 offset, work on front as is. Have to use 3 mm of spacer on the rear. What size tire are you running? Are you going to be able to roll the fender lip? Our set up is very close inside and outside!

    Many (most?) IT CRX's have ended up with Integra rear control arms due to the availability of disc CRX arms. This requires ~12mm more offset (the arms are wider). It is illegal so you don't have to go posting here what you have but keep it in mind when you buy wheels.

    Nevermind that you can still buy them NEW from Honda.

    before you buy those, check on the bolt spacing.

    According to the ad they're 4x100, which is just fine for the CRX. I'd be looking for 14x7 or 15x7 but that's me.

    I'd also be looking for CRX's w/ disc brake equipped trailing arms with 3 holes (vs. two) on the main body. The stub axle, rear bearing and hub assemblies are also larger.

    Perhaps this thread should move to rules section of the forum...

    I agree. Although when I bent up one about a year ago and ordered one from Honda the dealer told me there were only " a few left in the US."

    www.myhondapartsstore.com has them listed, ~250 each and in stock, have to go to the later disk equipped years to find them.

    Generally they are genuine Honda parts and still available even tho the dealer may say otherwise.

    Don't cheat!:026:

    Also, I have successfully moved the spindle from a bent disc trailing arm to a drum trailing arm. It does work and there are plenty of drum trailing arms out there!

    yeah, the spindles swap easily IF you can get the bolts off. they either come off with little fuss or have been corroded onto the arm. 'teg arms are not cricket.
