FD stock wheels on FC

So I have a 1989 GXL with crappy tires.

I have a set of FD wheels that I never actually use on the FD.

These are stock wheels with 245/45/16 Toyo T1S tires.

If I use a 20mm spacer in the front, and 25mm in the rear, will the tires still be inside the fender on the FC?

I don't want them to stick out, and would rather not roll the fenders.

And yes, I have searched. There the 170+ page "FC wheel fitment thread", which didn't seem to answer this question.

I also so the FD wheel thread in the archive.

I'm hoping that someone has already used this tire size with spacers on an FC and can answer the question directly.

Yes, but the original pics are no longer in the thread.

There are some other pics, but most don't offer details on setup.

Coilovers, 20 or 25mm, etc.

There's one post that I had missed earlier that makes it seem these would fit.

You will need to roll the fenders up front if you use the 245/45 tires. But other than that some 20mm spacers and you'll be good to go.
