Just to add that I did try these on my FL S8 when I bought it early this year as the winter wheels are "supposed" to be 17" according to the manual. It was a close thing on the front; in fact it was just a couple of the balancing weights near the outer face brushing on the caliper.
If you tried them with spacers I reckon you'd probably get them to fit OK, but I'm no expert on that.

I bought the tyres myself new and they've done a few thousand miles at most, I'd guess well under 5000.
