I'm looking for further comfirmation on this. My setup right now has FD rims with the stock tire size (225/50/16) running up front on 15mm spacers. I'm getting about 5mm of clearance on the spring with the stock suspension. Am I going to have total clearance failure if I attempt to run GF210s? I've had a set on order from Tanabe for two and a half months, and would have no problem telling them to cancel if they're not going to just drop in (can't go with larger spacers without flaring the fenders; starts messing up the steering geo anyway).
