185/60-14's on the front

[RShrimp]

I was browsing tirerack and saw the Yokohama AVS ES100 225/50-15 that some have used on the rear of the spyder. I also saw a matching 185/60-14 that looks like it might work on the front. It is only 0.2 inches taller and 0.9 inches wider.
I just thought it would be nice to have matching tires front and rear....
Anyone try this?
I know the front fenders are pretty close but we are only talking about fractions here.

This is a ultra high performance summer tire so it should be pretty sticky.

I know there are others who have done it and I'm pretty sure they didn't have any problems.

I am using 175/65R14 tires and they seem to just fit. Others have said the 180/60R14 tire works for them. You should keep in mind that the fenders are not exactly centered over the tire. I wanted to use the 180mm tire, but didn't feel comfortable enough. I would like to see them on a Spyder first.
