KG with 17's?

Hi,

So I'm finally getting to the point to where I really need to decide on wheels for my ghia. I've been reading around this forum and just wanted to make sure that I can fit 17x7 wheels under the stock fenders so long as the offset is like +52 or more, right? The front will have a 2" narrowed/adjustable beam with dropped spindles. Is this possible without any other modifications? Or should I just get 15" or 16" wheels? Thanks.
