I'm not sure if Honda changed anything actually on the GE's, they are just 1 year newer than the GDs in the US. 
Could end up being the same problem. Though you won't be having that problem in the near future, your going K and doing a whole swap right, 5 lug axle from EP or DC as well. Wait did the EP3 stateside have 5 lug? I can't recall, I know it was a joke compared to the EP here.
Well still not a definite no problem as my 5R the front side passenger wheel bearing was going out, but that car was beat very heavily on in gymkhana and touge running. Eventually swapped out the front knuckles with J's pieces as they had the RCA installed. Much quicker and easier swap than replacing the wheel bearings and installing the RCAs. My wallet didn't think it was easier though, but we rarely agree and I usually win.

You're going to use the tiny ass Fit axles pushing that much more power through them? Gambatte ne!!!
Or is there something you can do to use the larger axles and retain the 4x100 bolt pattern?

You guys would never believe this but my 15x9s fit in the front with no modification, spacers or anything ... Winning.
Omg I will NEVER not run staggered. Wow the difference in geometry. OVERSTEEEEEER! So amazing.

haha thanks man.
between the tires and grip and the new geometry of the staggered setup, the fit feels COMPLETELY different. The nose of my car no longer leads into a turn like every other front wheel drive car. It feels as though the pivot rotational point is exactly where I sit. Like it rotates from the middle. JUST LIKE A MIATA!
I completely understand why the Japanese run this type of setup on all their tuner track cars. wow
