Question Attn: People with FD wheels on FC

I want to run FD wheels on my FC. I will be useing 25mm spacers fot this. I think that the best tire size for this is 225/45/16 front and 245/45/16 rear. HOWEVER, I cannot find any suitable tires for this purpose. It seems the size I want is not to popular with the tire companies. So, my question is, I have talked to people who run 225/50f and 245/50r on their FC's, but say it rubs a little, what is the consensus on this, Do the tires rub? If yes, How badly do they rub? What are the other alternatives? (I do not want to adjust camber, or roll fenders)? Will the 50 sidewall change my final drive ratio?

Thanks Ryde or Die, I had in mind more something like Ultra or Max Performance All Seasons not for more that $130 each (The BFG g-force KDWS would be perfect, but they only come in the 50 sidewall)
