You'll be fine with 170s unless you're riding something a real low BB, but you're probably on a track frame. Pedals make a difference too. Pedal strike is more likely on fast wide turns that have you leaning a lot, take a good line and you'll be fine. If you're not comfortable cornering then slow down before the turn otherwise you will go wide.
Just watch out for those raised curbs
