Minimum would be 25mm.
Did some test fitting at one point and yeah, those wheels (mine were 03 17's) have an unfriendly offset AND and bad spoke design for a BBK.
Test it out. Test fit the calipers and then try and put the wheel on and use washers, in this case, washers would be plentiful so try and take some rough measurements.

What wheels will these fit under?
I have tried this kit with several wheels so you can get an indication of what will fit....
These kits DO NOT FIT UNDER THE STOCK 17" Maxima wheels!
So far, every aftermarket 17" and 18" wheel I have tried will fit, but the 17s get close on spoke clearance--depending on wheel design. I am currently trying to compile a database of all of the wheels that fit these kits to give you an idea, but the best way is to simply measure for yourself. I make no claims to wheel fittment, but for a general guess on if they will fit or not, use these measurements:
Measure 5 1/4" out from the center of the wheel to one of your spokes. Now measure the distance from the surface of your stock rotors. If you have at least 2 1/2" of clearance here, then you should be fine with the kit. I can tell you for certain that 300ZX (Z32) wheels will NOT fit without a 1/2" spacer.

I know these aren't 5th Gen wheels, but for the record, 6th Gen 17" 2004-2006 SL wheels are BBK friendly (nice high clearance spoke design)
They fit over this kit with no spacers. Fastbrakes BBK
