I found the Canadian tire sizing section insufficient, so I confirmed the rim/size I wanted elsewhere, then ordered the rim through Canadian tire.
Canadian tire does price matching, so they cost just over 100 each.
I highly recommend some winter alloys like the ones I bought here.

Those are nice wheels and at a good price. I like that they look OEM. Did you get them in 16 or 17"?

Since I have occasionally unplowed back roads to travel the Michelins aren't likely to work for me. Prefer the Nokian Hakkepelitta 8s with studs. It's got to be the ultimate snow tire.

But how does the 16 help in the snow? You lose an inch of clearancc. I would think the smaller diameter would make the car more likely to hang up in deeper snow.

I have a set of 225 R16 snow tires from my old car that are in mint condition. I wonder how bad that would be to throw on the HR-V. Seems like a big difference in size to me...

When you minus size, you drop an inch off the rim diameter, but then replace that with a taller tire, to keep the outside diameter the same. This ensures your odometer, speedometer, and clearance stay the same.

There is a good read here.

Size Selection of Winter / Snow Tires

Priorities for Sizing Winter Tires Are Different

Original Equipment tire and wheel sizing has evolved over the years to where yesterday's typical 13", 14" and 15" sizes have been replaced with today's 16", 17", 18" and larger sizes. For that matter, many current cars, vans and light trucks now feature wide, low profile tires mounted on large diameter wheels as standard equipment or factory options.
"...if you're likely to drive through deep snow this year, you'll want winter / snow tires and wheels in sizes that help put the laws of physics on your side."
Unfortunately wide, low profile tires have to "plow" a wide path through deep snow, where narrower tires have an easier time. So if you're likely to drive through deep snow this year, you'll want winter / snow tires and wheels in sizes that help put the laws of physics on your side.
Save Money While Enhancing Your Vehicle's Deep Snow Traction

Tire Rack's Preferred Winter Packages* often feature alternate sizes that combine smaller diameter wheels (that fit over the vehicle's Original Equipment brakes and within its wheelwell) with narrower, higher profile tires (that have equivalent load capacities and overall diameters). This not only promotes better deep snow traction, but also results in less expensive Winter / Snow Tire & Wheel Packages. An additional advantage higher profile tire sizes offer is they feature taller sidewalls and smaller diameter wheels that more easily resist damage associated with winter road hazards and early spring potholes.
Winter Tire and Wheel Packages are available for many vehicles. Select our Preferred Package* for your vehicle or build your own package today.
Winter tire sizes should be based on one of the following:

Your Vehicle's Original Equipment Tire and Wheel Size
While not offering a dimensional advantage, choosing winter tires and wheels in the Original Equipment size to seasonally replace the vehicle's Summer or All-Season tires will offer more traction in cold temperatures, slush, snow and ice thanks to the winter tire's tread design and compound that remains pliable in below-freezing and sub-zero temperatures.
The Tire and Wheel Size From Your Vehicle's Base Model
This is often an easy way to select an appropriate narrow tire for your car, van or truck. For example, a 2012 Honda Accord EX Sedan would store its original 225/50R17-sized tires in favor of the 2012 Honda Accord SE Sedan's 215/60R16-sized winter tires on 16" wheels. While only a small dimensional difference, this combination will reduce your cost while increasing your vehicle's wintertime traction.
A Minus Size Tire and Wheel
Minus Sizing uses traditional Plus Sizing techniques in reverse. It combines taller profile tires with smaller diameter wheels. For example, the owner of a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SEL would store the original 225/45HR17-sized tires in favor of a Minus One 205/55R16-size on 16" wheels (where the wheel diameter is 1" smaller and the tire's sidewalls are ½" taller) or Minus Two 195/65R15-size on 15" wheels (where the wheel diameter is 2" smaller and the tire's sidewalls are 1" taller).
Minus Sizing Example for Winter Tires

O.E. SIZE
MINUS ONE
MINUS TWO


When choosing base model sizing or minus sizing, not only would deep snow traction be enhanced, but the cost of a base model or minus sized Winter / Snow Tire & Wheel Package is usually lower than a package maintaining your vehicle's original size tires and wheels.
You can use our Winter Shop by Vehicle link or speak with one of our sales specialists to find tires that are right for you and the winter roads you drive on.
*Preferred Packages available for most vehicles. Most feature minus sizing for cost-effective winter traction.

Thanks very much, Demetra, you've convinced me and I understand a bit more. I got especially convinced when I discovered that the 16" Nokian tires are $40 less a tire than the 17" ones :).

I was leaning towards the steelies for rims but now you've also got my attention with your discovery of the RTX, HYOGO, 16 x 6.5, 5 x 114.3, 45, 64.1 rims. I've been really unhappy with the steel rims on my Mazda 3 and Kia. Around here the snow and ice tends to pack into the wheels and trying to get it out through the little holes in the steel rims is frustrating. I usually have to stop 4 or 5 times on the way to work and pick through the little holes with a screw driver. Otherwise the car shakes like crazy over 70 kph. Maybe worth it even though they're nearly twice the price of the steelies.

Did you have to order bulge lugnuts for the wheels?

Thanks again.

You save twice with downsizing, cheaper rims plus cheaper tires.:)

The winter alloys are :
lighter weight, which saves you gas.
have a longer life, as they won't rust like the winter steelies will
better looking (IMHO)

$112.99 CTX REPLICA Hyogo Wheel in Silver
So the price difference is $28 over steelies!

There is no extra shipping, as they are sold by Canadian tire.
And you don't need the special lug nuts, the stocks work fine.

Just seems like a win/win, I"m very pleased with them.

Thanks again, Dimitri. You've certainly provided a lot of great information on this site. Tremendously helpful.

Thought I'd give some thought again to the Michelin X-Ice 3 but they aren't currently listed on Canadian Tire in 16", only in 17". Maybe they'll become available again closer to winter. There's no hurry.

Best regards,
Richard

What did we do indeed! Wow, they sure are a lot cheaper than the Nokians which are $178 each. The difference more than makes up for the alloy wheels. How did you find them in deep snow?

When you pick the size, the price adjusts.
I think the X-Ice 3 is close to $175 regular price in the right size.

When I bought them on sale last Nov, I got them close to 120 each, using a Canadian tire sale plus a Michelin mail in promotion .

I live in Northern Western Ontario, so we do get snow and ice.
My 2WD HR-V was fine, but I never drove though any blizzards!

Might be cheaper to wait for sales in the fall.

Not "other" but there is a listing on eBay for brand new (dealer takeoffs) wheels for $130 each (plus shipping).

Wheel was just delivered. "New condition" exactly as described, including the "H" logo cap in the center of the wheel. Beautiful packaging, with a black cloth cover stretched across the face of the wheel and closed-cell foam all around the rim. I had a moment of trepidation when I saw a "Black Widow" label on the outside of the box. This is a reputable source on eBay.

This is the wheel I'm replacing:

Tire rack recommends downsized
Size: 215/60R16
or
Size: 225/60R16

So if your tires are 60R, should be good on the right 16 inch rims.

Thanks for the good reading material! My snows were actually 205/60-R16. Doing the calculator at http://www.miata.net/cgi-bin/tirescgi I don't think they would be a good fit. Site's I've read recommend .5% difference or less, some say 1%. 2.4% seems like a lot.

Honda HRV rims alternative

Hi. I recently purchases my 2016 Honda HRV, which comes with P215/55R17 tires, 7.5Jx17 ET55 rims and 5x 114.3 bolt pattern. I have a used set of Mazda 5 2008 rims+wheels, which are P205/50R17 wheels, 6.5Jx17 ET52.5 rims and 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Will they be compatible?

Based on the size of the tire alone, I'd say no, they would not be a good fit.

The wheels might work but the tires are way too small.
The overall diameter is 31.5mm (about 1.25") too small. That is (215*0.55 - 205*0.50)*2= 31.5mm difference.
