honda (and japanese designers, in general) do not over-engineer their products. That is, they manufacture their parts strictly to design specs without any room for error. When I went to engineering school here in the US, we were told to make our calculations, then specify a component double the rating and it will hold up. When you remove factory equipment and install larger wheels, tires, etc, you are most likely over stressing wheel and axle components, not to mention throwing off the calibration of the wheel sensors. If you want to prove this, have the car repaired and reinstall the original equipment.
