New poster here, researching before I snag a CR-Z in a few weeks ...
I really want 17x7-inch wheels, but don't necessarily want to blow the dealer premium on the pricey (and not all that attractive, to me) 17x6.5-inch (6.5 inch? REALLY?) upgrade wheels. So I've done some research suspecting (and, now, knowing) that the CR-Z's lug pattern is the fairly common 5x114.3 (with Honda's typical 64.1mm center bore, I think?).
The following "sport" vehicles use the same pattern and roughly equivalent offsets (+35-50) stock:
- Honda Civic, 2006-present
- Honda Accord, 2003-present
- Honda S2000, all
- Subaru WRX and WRX STI, 2005-present
The following use the same pattern, have equal or greater center bore measurements, but may only have medium offsets (+20-35):
- Infiniti G35/G37 (all, though some models have medium offsets on the rear wheels)
- Mazda 3 (all)
- Mazda RX8 (all)
- Mitsubishi Eclipse (1989-present)
- Nissan 350z (2003-2008, though later-year models have medium to low offset on the rear wheels)
What I plan to do is scour forums for some of these model cars for a set of used wheels & tires for my CR-Z. This info could also be used to slap a set of stock wheels on your CR-Z ... for instance, I bet the S2000's stock wheels aren't prohibitively heavy, but I could be wrong (haven't done that research yet) ...
Anyway: thought I'd share. I'm coming from a 2010 370Z ... tired of 19MPG & the Z car's finicky mechanicals, though I'll miss the power and interior ...
