1 more question about tire sizes....

Im about to get a set of FD wheels to put on my FC, and the guy is selling them with tires on already. The tire size is 225/50, I was just wondering if this was the correct size tire, and that nothing would be screwed up. Last question about tire sizes or FD wheels, I promise

They should work fine in the rear. but will probably rub in the front.

You'll need like a 20mm-25mm spacer for the fronts.

How does that spacer affect cornering and turning feel?
Does it ake it feel liek ****, or is it barely noticeable?

I'd love to put FD Rims on my GTU but I hate the thought of throwing the offset by 1"
and leacvign it normal in the rear. It jsut dotn seem like a good Idea to me.

If you're worried about the performance of the spacer, then don't do it.&nbsp Get proper offset rims for the width - the FD rims is not something you throw on an FC for performance.
