You are going to HAVE to cut the arches, as mine foul slightly on the 16" ones.

I get very slight rubbing on mine, where it catches the arches over bumps.

Your 17s probably werent 8 inch wide like the escort ones?
And also probably a larger offset?

Im sure it will be fine for shows, its only a slight scrubbing I get.
