So turbotuner20v let me borrow his 17" x 11" Weld RTS from his widebody C6 for a little test fitment, so I thought I would share. I really want to run the 15" and still may, but thought I would give these a shot. Here are some pics I snapped:

Looks great! I have been thinking about these for a while. I run the c4 zr1 wheels in 17X11 with my L5's. they fit great. I use m/t 295/45/17 (27"), but have been thinking about going to the m&h 325 (28")
What tires are they?

I did a mini tub for 19x13's but let me tell you those fenders look great. Wheels in the 17" are like WOW

What back-set are those wheels, hell it looks like 12" rims would fit.

Specs right from Weld.

Pad height: High
Specs: 17x11.0
Offset: 43 mm
Weld backspace: 7.70 in

And yes with a smaller tire a 12" would definitely fit. I may have them try a little more backspace on them when I do my set.
