Anybody know a place on the web where i can find my official rim specs from honda?

i have a 2018 2.0L 4 door

I want to get some rims and snow tires, and i want them to be the exact same size as my all season tires,

My tires are 215/55/16

So obviously i need a 16 inch rim, but what is the width?

I am finding conflicting reports out there, some places say 6.5 inch, some say 7 inches,

also, what is the bolt pattern/specs?

Note that, at least with the LX and without upgraded brakes/calipers, you can go with a 15" rim. I run 15" rims from 2004-2006 CR-V for winter wheels. I know you said you want to keep it exact but thought I'd throw it out there for reference. All the best on your wheel hunting ??

If you go to partsengine.ca, go to the wheels section and put in your car info it will show an OE Specs Table at the top.

thanks,

what size tire would you use with a 15 inch rim to keep the overall outside diameter the same?

a tire of different outside diameter will mess with the CVT

My tires are 195/65R15, and the rims are 15"x6". As far as I know you can never get a true exact perfect match when going with different rim size than stock, but the difference in these two sizes is negligible, 2.1 km/h (1.31 mph) difference at 160 km/h (100mph).

As for CVT, someone else will have to chime-in as I don't really know anything about them. Mine is a 6spd ?

Whats the tire selection for 15" tires these days? I had a 2014 Fiesta ST for a while and everyone on those forums complained about tire selection in the 15" range. I wonder if sticking with a 16" would give you the most options.

My brother told me to get 195/65R15 so I did. Just did a quick check on the link I posted and you could also go with 205/65. As for specific tire selections I am not sure. I was set on buying 2nd hand and found basically brand new Michelin X-Ice tires for $380CAD for the set.

i went to canadian tire to get prices,

the cheapest winter tire they had (Good Year) in that size was around $160,

with the cheapest 16 inch steel rims, and installation, 4 tires total came to $975

that is a bit more then i was expecting, so not sure what to do now

maybe i should go with a more narrow tire to save some $$$ ???

For winter I've always gotten used rims off FB Marketplace or CL then ordered tires from discount tire or tire rack. Then, bring both to someone to mount and balance. gtman told you your rim specs above, id start there. That's your cheapest option.
