Love it! I remember seeing your photo in the Amazon comments and had to get them for myself! Haven’t really seen any other HRV’s in my area with roof racks. The racks and rails are holding up just fine with my rooftop tent on top! Surprised on the quality from Amazon. Saved me so much then spending money on Yakima or Thule. I also wrapped paracord around the racks to stop the wind noise and it works wonderfully!

A couple of weeks ago I bought cross bars on amazon for our HRV sport AWD, and here’s how they look. View attachment 32949 View attachment 32950 I bought the black ones to match the car. But then the rails were aluminum and didnt match the car, So I also decided to fix that. A gloss black rattle can later…. View attachment 32951 View attachment 32952 Looks waaayyyy better!! Then i put the crossbars back on and installed a roof basket! View attachment 32953 View attachment 32956 View attachment 32955 View attachment 32954 Ready for adventure!!!!

What brand are they? I’m trying to make sure an aftermarket fits my HRV.

What size wheels and tires are you running?

This is his original post and review on his wheel setup, very informative!

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Finally got the wheel and tire combo we ordered from tire rack. So the wheels are
Sparco Terra 16x7 and tires are Toyo Opencountry At3 215/70r16.

This set up on the calculator gives me about a half inch lift BUT in reality its maybe about an inch a half. You’ll see the photo further down.

Also the new wheel and tire setup is about 5lbs lighter than OEM. Package weight was 50lbs according to TireRack, So after taking off all the packaging I whipped out the bathroom scale and re-weighed it was roughly 49lbs. (Sorry forgot to take photos of them on the scale) I was in a hurry to get things done ASAP as it was 95degrees fahrenheit in the garage)

Weighed the Oem wheel and tires which are 18x7.5 with 225/50r18 on the 2019 sport and it was about 54lbs.
Here is a side by side comparison:

So I installed the wheels and tires on the left side first to see how much the difference is: You can clearly see the left side is higher than the right side.

Remember I said that this probably gives me about maybe an inch a half more of ground clearance.
No fitment issues after the install, No rubbing, just a tight fit in the front on full turn lock.
