Default offset a 17x6 smooth rim for blackline

i am putting a 200 rear on my blackline and i have come up with this idea.i have a 17x6 smooth rim and i am putting this on to my stock hub with a 5mm offset so i dont have to go through all the trouble of pulling the primary off just to change the 25mm belt to a 20mm belt.i am told you can offset the rim 5mm without no problems and i am widening the stock fender and heating and bending the stock strutts.so do you think this will work with the offset as i have had a good look around the bike and cant really see any issues.
