Default Has anyone fitted a 325 MPSC to the rear of OEM 991 GT3 wheel yet?

Now that people have had more time to monkey with their cars, I'm curious if anybody has mounted the MPSC 325x20 tire in place of the OEM spec 305x20?
Also - any informed opinions on whether 325 would cause clearance issues, RWS issues, stability control or ABS issues? Correct to assume the increased rolling diameter of less than 1/2 inch with the 325 is not going to be a problem?
Gracias.

I have found that screwing with tire dimensions is always a mistake. A great deal has been put into those N Spec tires!

What is the purpose of the wider tires in this case? Just asking,

Unless the wheel itself is wider, there will be softer lateral flex compromises, even if the clearance is there. This is a street car...want to have real fat tire slicks on a track. Get a cup car.

What, a 305 isn't big enough?!

Just curious to see if anybody had done it and if they had any issues I mentioned. Not a good call for track, but 12" wheels are more than ample for that tread width for street.
