It's only good for high grip scenarios to tame a nervous front end. Luckily, 25.5 and 21.5 are slow enough that you won't notice a huge difference.

If you're open to a suggestion: consider a 190mm gt body and the Ride USGT spec tire with 0 offset wheels. The transition to 17.5 with be smoother.
Thank you very much for the information and suggestion, extremely helpful.
