I think it's likely that you'd need a 5-10mm spacer to get them away from the coilover body. I've got the 17x8s on a BA, and i've got about 5mm of space between the strut body and the rim. But the 17x8s tuck fine under my guards.

So with a spacer and maybe some camber you'd have pretty flush-fitting rims, i reckon. Best to test-fit them to know for sure though
