Is there anything I can do to improve the underbody clearance space under my '03 CRV?  Changing tire/wheel sizes?  Pros and cons of this?

Martha,

A 2" larger tire will raise it 1" so you'll probably want a 4" larger tire for a 2" lift,

the problem is it'll probably hit the fender esp when turning,#2 will changer your overall gearing & make it accelerate like a dog & #3 really throw your speedometer off.

On some vehicles you can compensate for larger tires w/lower gears & lift kits & changing speedo gears.But most alot the smaller awd don't have the capabilityof doing it due to manfactures design,power & parts.

The best thing would to be get some better tires like the ones the other person just got BFG A-T K/O I have the on my truck 1994 Dodge 4x4 Diesel & they work get in mud & snow

HTH,
