Be careful with sizing. Don't go too wide. Balance cornering grip with straightline rolling resistance.

Anybody have a suggestion for reasonably light 17 inch wheels with good BBK clearance?

I have 3mm, 7mm and 10mm spacers to adjust things as needed; need a 'safe' offset that I can move around to ensure BBK clearance without rubbing.
