Wiseco piston on stock bore

I was wondering if it was ok to put a wiseco piston on the stock bore. I thought that a bore's clearance had to be change if switching from a stock cast piston to forged piston. I know a forged piston expands a little more when heated than cast piston. Therefore a cast piston would have tighter bore tolerances than a forged piston. So, would I risk a piston seizure if i replaced my stock piston with a wiseco piston of the same size ( stock bore) if I did not allow for the expansion characteristics of a forged piston.
Thanks for the help.

I had the same question as well. One call to Wiseco and they confirmed what Mr. Clean stated. The only recommendation they had was to allow a little more warm up time so that the piston wouldn't expand fast enough to create a seizure.
