Doesn't matter if the offset is correct, it's the spoke design that maybe the factor in clearing the caliper

as above, many wheels at 8" x 17, 18, 19, etc. do not clear even though in theory they have the "correct" offset.........

unfortunately its another SN myth that has been prepetuated by being repeated so many times and the "only" factor that influences wether they clear or not is spoke/wheel design & machining...........

Surely you should be wondering why you'd fit narrower wheels in the first place ?
