Hey just replying because I was reading all these forms a month ago trying to decide the exact same thing. I just installed the RC 5" kit on my 2011 Ranger Sport. The lifted knuckles fit with the factory 16"x7" aluminum wheels just fine. The knuckles are close but they work. I think Rough Country's 17" requirement is just a fail safe. Seems like the knuckle would fit most 16" wheels but I would't recommend starting the install unless you can afford to buy 17" if you need to because the knuckles are a fair bit bigger than the factory ones. I was hoping my 16" inch wheel would fit, but was prepared to buy bigger ones if I needed to. I also waited to buy bigger tires until I knew what wheel I could use. 

Just sharing my experience. Hope it helps.
