I would suggest the same thing. Either go with a bigger tire or your out of luck. Front wheel drives just aren't the same because you have such a small tranny with the differential in it so if you change the diff your going to have to change the gearing too and finding a combination that would work would take you a lot of trial and error due to the fact not many people have messed with honda gearing, but i'll be willing to bet money on it it can be done. The only thing is you better learn how to tear your tranny down and put the time in finding out what different years trims and models gear ratio is then find out how you can mate them. By the way honda manuals are the easiest trannies to build out there, so be ballsy you could build one easily.
