I have some nice new snows off my Volvo and was wondering if there is
a cross reference for a smaller (15 inch) steel wheel I can get with
the same 5 bolt pattern to run on the element? The width is the same
as the factory tires, so I'm assuming the slightly smaller size would
be fine if there is a rim to match.

Check out this site, doesn't appear so.

I'll leave you this to research......If the Element uses the same bolt
pattern and is 5 lug as the CR-V, then you can find used steel wheels on
eBay dirt cheap. My memory tells me its 5X114.3mm on the CRV.
You might also find that those tires could have an affect on the
speedometer.

Thanks, guys, boy the Internet is great. I wonder why the CRV wheels
are cheap? It looks like i can also run a pre 2002 Cherokee wheel,
which should be easy to find out here in the boonies. Thanks again,
John
