You're kinda in a rock and a hard place; AP Racing specifically denotes that the standard 17in wheels won't fit without a spacer.
However, their also noting that most aftermarket 17in wheel will fit; it's like as double standard.
You need to measure the rotor mounting surface of the wheel to the outside edge of the caliper.
Then you need to get a hold of Calibre Wheels and ask the clearance.
Typically an 8in wide wheel with a 35mm offset will clear most BBK's, but you need to double check before you have a set of wheels may not work.
