Wheels are 17x8 with +35 offset and tires are 235/65/17. Was debating on the offset choice but really happy with the +35. Tires sit almost flush with the fender flares

That's really helpful - and yeah, the flush look is really nice with the wider haunches of the CX 50.

Welcome to the AT tire club. Personally I was on the fence between lowering it with 22s or raising it with the 265/65/17 Falken tires.

Cross bars are good but make a whistling noise above 35mph like every other brand including OEM

I returned the roof basket on top of it because rust started pouring out after a heavy rain. lol
Replaced with an aluminum Inno XA569 that will be mounted later today. Wanted the Yakima Lock n Load but it was almost $1k shipped vs the Inno for under $300 shipped

Not all. The BougeRV ones I have do not whistle. They have some wind noise, but not excessive or annoying.

Yes. I have th HRG 38mm/1.5" coil spacer lift kit. In case you're interested, the kit was $350 then my neighbor's mechanic installed for $300, and then the alignment was $120 (extra $40 for having a lift kit). So $770 + tax, but if you're handy you can save $300. I had access to the tools, but several people commented the rears were very difficult to install. So I think $300 was too much imo, but it turned out very nice.

it looks great. do you have any warranty concerns after doing it? are the tires 245/65/17?
