NC Fitting FD wheels on my FC, Need help please

I am trying to determine if i can fit FD wheels with 245/45 tires on an FC. I know that 245's are fine on the rear but that the typical cutoff on the front of an FC is 225 tires. Suspension is slightly lowered with Intrax springs and Tokico blues. I know i will need spacers/adapters to make them fit, but can I put these on the front without obnoxious rubbing? I am asking because i found a good deal on a set of FD wheels with 245/45 tires and am looking for a cheap wheel solution to replace my current wheels.
Any and all help is appreciated.

20mm spacers all the way around, but you can go smaller in the rear. Going to have to Roll the front fenders to avoid rubbing...

I actually have a set of hubrings, KICS 25MM and 20MM spacers to give you a flush fit. Search it from AutoRnD, it's a kit he used to sell.

It's for sale if you need them.
