They do clear the stock calipers. I have the exact same wheels.

Hey Jim...ran across your thread while looking for aftermarket wheels for our C2. I like the US Mags and considering getting them in 17x7" & 17x8" staggered fitment.

Is your car's suspension or body modified to allow fitment? [ours is not] Thanks

My front fenders are stock....my rears have lip flares.

BTW - what did your car do in the Texas Mile? I see the sign in your pic, but it has 3 numbers. 128mph?

Thanks again for your quick response.

At the TX Mile the speed rated tires weren't too sticky and I couldn't put my foot in it until about 180 MPH. It was spinning up 'till then, but was pulling like a freight train at the end...lots left in it.

It's run an 8.89@162 in the 1/4 so far.
