Expert Buying Guide for 1998 Honda CR-V
For your 1998 Honda CR-V, the 4x114.3 bolt pattern is shared with 1997–2002 models. The 64.1mm center bore is critical; aftermarket wheels with a larger bore require hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load transfer. Offset is sensitive—stick to 45–55mm to avoid rubbing or clearance issues. Always use the correct lug nuts: M12x1.5 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) seat. Never use ball-seat lug nuts, as they can loosen. Re-torque after 50–100 miles of driving.
