17 Inch Wheels and Rims

About 17 Inch Wheels and Rims

A 17 inch wheel is the step most compacts start at: a Civic Si, a WRX on 17x8, a BRZ or GR86 on 17x8.5, a Miata on 17x9. The 45 series sidewall keeps the ride and the tire bill sane, and the 17 clears every stock brake on those cars. Wide 17s in 9 and 9.5 are common, because the drift and track crowd wants the sidewall. The brake caliper behind the wheel sets the smallest diameter a car takes. What is left over is sidewall, and sidewall is what soaks up a pothole.

581 designs on this site come in 17 inch, in 11 widths from 4.5 to 11 inches wide. 17x8 has the most designs (229), then 17x9 (186). The bolt patterns with the most 17 inch designs are 5x114.3, 5x100 and 5x112. Diameter is the easy part. Width and offset are what rub, so pick your car and the page keeps only the 17 inch sets that clear the brakes and fenders, with the aggressive stance option if you want the wheel out at the fender.

Common questions

Will 17 inch wheels fit your car?

Pick your year, make and model and the page answers for yours. The brake caliper sets the smallest diameter a car takes, and width and offset decide the rest.

What tire sizes go on 17 inch wheels?

The size depends on the wheel width and on your car. Pick a wheel set and the tire step sizes the tires to it and to your car, then the package ships mounted and balanced.

Which width should I run in 17 inch?

17x8 has the most designs here. Stock cars take the factory width or a half inch more, flush fitments go a half to one inch wider with a lower offset, and the widest sizes are rear widths on staggered sets. Pick your car and the page shows which widths clear.
