If you go metric you’ll sound even bigger as 172 is bigger than 5.something. But to answer your question, it’ll only work until people meet you as 8”/20 cm is quite the difference and they will notice. Plus you’ll get the added benefit of being untrustworthy because you’ll lie about such a basic and easy verifiable fact.
