Is the problem with the 225-50-15's the gearing (larger tire diameter) or handling stability due to the taller wall height?

I have a set of 205-50-15 Victoracers on SSR Type C 15x7.5 +38 and a set of 205-50-15 RA-1 on Kosei 15x7 +38, and they both fit perfectly on a car with a reasonable ride height.
I was going to go with RA-1 over Victoracers (track days only for now)to start with for sure because of the $$ and tire life. They will be on 15x7 43 offset but it sounds like I better bring the 5mm spacers I am using on the stock rims with the 225's. I am still at stock ride height (still in D-stock), but was wondering if you have rolled your fender lips to go with the 38 offset.
