Default BBS Motorsports 17" on a C5

I posted this in the C5 tech section, but I figure if anyone is running them, they are probably in this section.

I just picked up a set with Magnesium Centers in 16". I have sold my 16" barrels and lips and have 17" inner barrels on the way, and I have not yet ordered the lips.

They only thing I am concerned about is the taper down to the wheel center. The clearance at the caliper and rotor should be fine, it is just the top of the knuckle that is so high it may cause interference.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experience with these.

FYI,
I did a test fit on the C5 Corvette suspension I have and there are no clearance issues.
