Trie size question

Right now i have 245/50/16's their about done with, look like slicks.
My friend Dan gave a me a set of Goodyear Eagle RSA's that are almost new.
He builds race cars & they came off a street car that was undergoing a race conversion.
But their 225/60/16's.
I was gonna run them tell i got my new tires, but will they look funny, i know there not as wide & about 1/2 a inch taller on the side wall.
I was also concerned about wheelwell clearance under hard "autoX" cornoring, on the front tires.
Also loss on any handling.

what do you guys think, i never seen that size tire on a F-body but i have on a few sn95 stang GT's with 16 inch wheels.
I dont wanna put these things on if their gonna look stupid, i'll run the slicks a little bit longer if i have too.

BTW if anybody wants to buy the RSA's drop me a line with a offer.

Thanks, i pretty much figured they would look dumb & perform all worng.
I just thought i might use them in the interm till my new tires came in b/c my current tires are in such poor shape.
I think the old Futuras might make it past this weeks autocross & few more miles, untill the new Khumos come in.
I have someone interested in the RSA's, looks like everything might work out.

That's good, I didn't mean to be too blunt about it... I would just hate for you to get them mounted and then wish you hadn't!!!
