Are you looking to enhance the performance and appearance of your vehicle? Performance Plus Tire has got you covered! We offer a wide range of 17x9 inch custom wheels and rims to take your ride to the next level. Whether you're a car enthusiast or simply want to give your vehicle a sleek upgrade, our 17x9 inch wheels are the perfect choice. With their unique size and design, they provide a distinctive look that is sure to turn heads wherever you go.
17x9 wheels are a popular choice for drivers seeking a more aggressive stance or increased traction. The extra inch of width compared to 17x8 allows for wider tires, which can improve cornering stability and grip both on and off the pavement. This size is especially favored by muscle car owners, off-road enthusiasts, and truck/SUV drivers who want a blend of performance and durability.
Beyond looks, 17x9 provides practical benefits for performance builds. It can handle higher load ratings for towing or off-road use and offers more surface area for dissipating heat under hard braking. Neighboring widths like 17x8, 17x9.5, and 17x10 make excellent pairing options for staggered or application-specific setups.
Common bolt circles for 17x9 include 5x114.3 (common across muscle cars, Japanese performance platforms, and crossovers), 5x127 (Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, and select SUVs), 6x139.7 (Toyota, Nissan, GM, and Ford trucks/SUVs), and 5x120 (BMW, Chevy performance sedans, and SUVs). Matching offset, hub bore, and brake clearance is key for proper fitment.
Not necessarily. Many daily-driven vehicles run 17x9 without issues, provided the correct offset and tire size are used. The wider stance can improve handling, but be sure to maintain adequate fender and suspension clearance.
Popular choices range from 255/40R17 for street performance to 285/70R17 for off-road trucks and SUVs. The best size depends on your vehicle’s intended use, suspension setup, and clearance limits.
Yes. Many owners choose a square 17x9 setup for the ability to rotate tires freely and maintain even wear. This is especially beneficial for vehicles used in autocross, track days, or heavy off-road driving.
It depends on offset and tire width. Some vehicles can fit 17x9 without modifications, while others may require minor fender rolling or trimming to avoid rubbing during suspension compression or steering lock.
