Yes, not a problem. But when it comes time to replace the tires, go with 225/60-17 for an even closer match for the Element's odometer/speedometer (0.79 percent smaller diameter).Per this tire chart, the 225/65R17 tires are only 2.39% larger in diameter than the stock 215/70R16 size, so no problem there.
225 is the tread width. The aspect ratio is the middle number (70, 65, 60) and tells the ratio of the sidewall height to the tread width.People here use 225 aspect ratio all the time (mine included) without a problem.
OOPS! 🙃The bolt pattern on all years CRV is 5x114.3, same as the Element, so you're good there.
