Yeah that is true about the handling, alot of the tuner wheels that fit the FC are front wheel drive offset, and they sit a little to far out, and causes wierd handling quirks with wider tires, and I suppose the FD wheels are the same when fitted with a spacer..
I put 16x7.5 asa's on my GX(se) n/a and the handling improved, yet worsenedd at the same time, its a cornering demon now, but it tracks weired on grooved or uneven road surfaces.. I added a strut tower brace and it cleaned it up quite a bit, I think some better springs and struts may help as well, but proper offset from the beginning would have cost less money...Max

the tracking and groving just comes from bigger rims and stiffer tires. upgrade once more to 17's and it'll get worse.
the fd rims with spacers would be no different then rims with the correct offset....

not my car but I'd imaging they sell them somewhere in Japan. I bet aerodyne could find you one if you asked them. You might want to include a link to that picture in your email to help them out.

ummmmmmm
use the H&R 25mm spacers.
all around beucase if you dont use them in back your wheel going to stick way inside. you'll look like a honda drag car.
and you can run 225 in the front.
im running 225/50/16 front but a 225/45/16 would be better.
and 245/45/16 in the rear.
the only reason I had to use 225/50 in the front as it the only 225 size the Yoko A032R's come in, in 16"
with no problems.
you can go here to see how the spacer look

You don't have any problems running 225's up front? I have the 25mm H&R spacers all around with 225 ZR's. I get some serious fender rubbing over some bumps with that size tire. Did u adjust the front camber to avoid rubbing the fender lip?
