A quick way to check the clearance is to use the end of an allen key as a feeler guage. If you can slip a 2mm allen key through the gap between the wheel and the caliper at any point where the caliper gets close to the rim barrel, you're good. A 3mm one is better, but 2's enough.
I will try that next week. They do have decent clearance from the spokes, so I think they will work just as AP said, but I need to double check on the caliper clearance.
