Default Spacers on stock wheels

Hello. I just bought my MY07 BB. First thing I want to ask:

Has anyone added spacers on stock rims. I like the look of stock rims, especially if they are spaced out more. Will it drastically affect handling? Thank you for your replies.

I have spacers on my AP2 V2 rims. 15mm front and 20mm rear.

Here's a pic of the front. I don't have pics of the rears or better pics of the fronts, but I can take some if requested.

And as for handling, I noticed that the car felt a bit more stable. Overall, I liked what it added in terms of handling.

More pics please =).

Also, I don't want to question your judgement on handling, but would like to get other opinion on the effects of handling due to spacers on stock wheels.

Where can you buy spacers for stock wheels? (Sorry I am noob to spacers)

Don't take my word for it. Just buy them and find out for yourself. Think about it, the wider the track width the more stable it will become opposed to going to a narrow track which will make the car feel like it's going to tip over. Since you're going wider, your center of gravity will become more concentrated in the middle which, if you ask me, will help handling. But just buy them, even if say they don't dramatically increase your handling, at least it will let your car sit pretty. You can buy spacers from EvasiveMotorsports, which is where I picked up mine from.

Id like to know about this also,if anyone has any ideas on how it might throw the alignment out or something chime in. ive always looked at my MY03 with stock wheels and thinking they should be out a little further. But im a firm beliver in Hondas R&D and I figure its the way it supposed to be.
