Storing Green Tomatoes

Just a quick question. Most resources argue against storing tomatoes in the fridge. Too cold, kills the flavor, stops ripening, etc. But what if my end game is fried green tomatoes?

We've had too many ripe tomatoes to eat, so I picked a few mature green ones from a cluster where the first tomato or two had begun ripening. I want to keep them a week or two, but I've noticed that if I leave them at room temp, they start to ripen after a few days.

TL;DR Will storing unripe, mature green tomatoes in the fridge negatively impact them if my end game is to have fried green tomatoes?
