1/16 inch of clearance... Talking about tight fit! The positive thing is that there won't be any snow / ice build up inside the wheels. Any snow / ice inside will be scraped off clean!

Depending on the wheel design, not all 17" wheels will provide adequate clearance for the caliper. IMO, go with 18" if unsure.
