It will be very close... can't say for sure though until someone tries it. I have 17x8.5 +59 Emotions and they clear barely. From a purely mathematical standpoint your should have an equal amount of clearance, but you never know.

From a mathematical standpoint, wouldn't he actually have more clearance? A half inch is about 12mm (give or take). 6mm on the inside of the hub, 6mm on the outside of the hub. That would make your wheels a 17x8+53 if they were an 8" wheel, no?

Could be thinking wrong here. Either way, you can't just go off the math because with different widths/offsets comes different curves on the spokes.
