I think I'll add to this post instead of starting a new one. I had some 16 winter tires in near new condition from our previous vehicle. I bought some used 16" Honda OEM steel rims from a 2017 Honda Civic and had a tire shop mount them . I went to install them today, and they rub on the front brake caliper. I didn't even try the rear. I don't totally understand offset but I'm guessing it's much different from a civic to an HRV. An online Canadian tire and rim site I've used in the past have 4 different steel wheels available for the HRV. Some have an offset of 40, and others 54.5. which should I get to avoid repeating my previous mistake? The site I'm looking at is pmctire.com
Thanks,

One should always test fit new wheels on the vehicle (front and rear) before purchasing and mounting tires on the wheels.
I really hate those cheap off-shore steel wheels that are everywhere. They are really cheap, thin metal, easily bent and rust quickly.
For winter wheels, tucking the wheels and tires as far in as possible (positive offset) is best to keep the tires well under the vehicle, keeping road spray under the vehicle.
I would recommend good used OEM Honda aluminum wheels over cheap steel wheels.
For the 3 steel wheels you listed, I recommend the ones with the most positive offset.
Test fit one wheel, front and rear, on your HRV before mounting tires.
Just to compare, the mid-2000 Acura RSX wheels that I use on our HRV barely clear the front caliper brackets.
16 x 6.5, +45 offset.
205/65/R16 is the best winter tire size for the HRV on 16's.
I'm running slightly smaller 195/65R16's winter tires with no issues on our HRV because they also fit our Acura.
Older pic, I have changed the Acura wheel center caps to Honda center caps!
