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.

Yes, but how much of that difference in feel is because of the added power from being FI? What matters (or what I'm asking if it matters) is the extra power that's at play when you've got an FI 86.
I know someone who just recently swapped out his wheels from staggered 18x9.5/18x8.5 down to 18x8 square, because he felt like he'd lost the nimble feeling of his 86 going that wide. I just wonder if having a more powerful 86 (via FI) would've offset or altogether negated that feeling. if so, then there's bias going on when FI folks give opinions on their wheel setups vs. what folks would think if non-FI with the same setups.
I apologize for asking a dumb question, but seeing as how expensive buying wheels/tires is, I'd rather ask the dumb question and learn what I need to...Than to keep guessing and buy out of ignorance and regret it.
