I replaced the upper control arms on mine to get rid of this. 2) Mine doesn't, but I have VSA on my 07 and I have very good A/S tires with decent tread left (around half). It did handle better last winter when I had full tread. Check your tread depth and make sure you buy a quality A/S tire. The OEM Michelins are awful. 3) It should work, but try tirerack.com to see what they say fits because I'm thinking that it will be the offset that determines if the wheels fit, not the diameter difference. I recall the old RSX-S put 16" wheels over 11.8" diameter rotors like we use; in fact, the RSX-S has identical front brake rotors and pads to the Si.
