It will mess the geo around a tad. Not sure specifically how it'll affect the riding/steering, my friend's bike was set up like that for a fairly long time and he didn't seem to have any problems with it, was his first fixie/road style bike to boot so he wasn't even remotely experienced with that sort of geo.
Just speaking from personal experience.
You can get 27" rims and do it that way, 700c are just a little easier to come by, you could also get a brake with huge drop on it which could equally work.
