Not well, but you can fit anything if you try hard enough. I think Kelowna is running 9.5s.

Couple pics here, the 9.5" Rikens are the mesh wheels, they are 16s but I don't see why you couldn't do 17

I will say that my et25 16x8s(sticks out a half inch or so even with ~3* of camber) are a PITA, they rub a lot with 205s on them, I'd get a higher offset 7.5 if I were to buy wheels again.
