I found a previous post about fitting the Honda Luxury/Sport 17" wheels to the Standard that mentions the turning circle but nothing really illuminating on the subject.

My car is a 2004 Standard to which I have fitted Luxury 17" wheels. It tramlines badly. The 17" wheels have the same offset as the 16" wheel. I wonder if the front suspension geometry is different? It might explaining the different turning circle and the tramlining.

Does anyone know?
I would have thought maybe a larger rolling diameter for the increase in turning circle.......

Damn, are those wheels still tramlining SPQR!.......

Only ever noticed a slight tramlining in the first month when new before you bought them, and the Avanti 17" that replaced them have a offset of 45mm.

Still a very slight tramlining effect, but then after lowering 45mm on Tein coilovers a month later I have found in almost a year now that the car goes wherever I point it with no tramlining except a couple of times on extremely grooved roads, but only then minor.

I have only just replaced the Bridgstone RE040 with Pirelli Dragons, and it seems even more direct.

Is it possible the steering geometry was altered between the 03-05 and the 06 on?
I had heard their was some suspension mods between models
