non-fi vs fi, that argument is pretty dumb IMO.
you're adding more rotational mass, period. so its obvious some negative effects will be felt. what does it matter if its FI or not...the car will feel differently in both applications.
a 245 will be stretched unless you get a brand of tire that runs wide. i would go ATLEAST 255.
i was one of the first to run a very aggressive meaty setup and sure there is some performance loss that is felt, its mostly in 1st-2nd. but i'm hardly ever in those gears going WOT. on a entrance ramp, twisty road and especaily on track it really does not feel slugish by any means. i love it dearly and the amount of speed i can carry through a corner is mind boggling.
bottom line is...stop focusing on being so nit picky, and setup the car to how you want. in this case you're going for looks, and it will look good if you have a meaty tire, not a stretched tire. if its stretched it will jsut look off unless you slam the car (something i dont recommend if you like to drive)
feel free to look thorugh my thread, and there is an entire thread dedicated to meaty tire fitment. so check that out.
