17x8.5 Wheels and Rims

About 17x8.5 Wheels and Rims

Eight and a half is the width most sets get built in, because it fills a fender without pushing past it. Offset is what decides where a 17x8.5 ends up. The same wheel tucks at one offset and sits flush at another, and it's the caliper behind it that sets the floor.

Tell us the car and we'll keep the list to what clears. Want it flush? Flip on the aggressive option and we'll show you what still works.
