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 17x8 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 17x8 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.
17x8 wheels are one of the most versatile aftermarket and OEM upgrade sizes on the market today. They strike a balance between visual appeal and performance, offering enough width for enhanced cornering grip without adding excessive weight. This size is a favorite among sport sedans, crossovers, and light trucks for its ability to fit a wide variety of tire profiles, from low-profile summer performance tires to taller all-seasons for year-round use.
Enthusiasts also appreciate 17x8 for its compatibility with staggered setups and easy fitment across multiple platforms. It pairs well with neighboring widths like 17x7, 17x9, and 17x10, making it a go-to choice for builds where front and rear widths differ for performance or visual stance.
Common bolt circles for 17x8 include 5x114.3 (one of the most widely used patterns across sedans, crossovers, and muscle cars), 5x112 (popular on European vehicles like Audi, VW, and Mercedes-Benz), 5x120 (BMW, select GM performance models, and SUVs), and 6x139.7 (common on midsize and full-size trucks/SUVs). Always match the exact pattern, center bore, and offset to your vehicle to ensure safe fitment without vibration.
17x8 can be a direct fit for many sedans, crossovers, and SUVs, especially if your OEM wheels are similar in diameter and width. However, fitment depends on bolt pattern, offset, and brake clearance. Providing your year, make, model, and trim ensures we can confirm exact compatibility.
Common tire widths for 17x8 range from 225mm to 255mm, depending on vehicle weight and intended use. For example, a sport sedan might run 235/45R17 for crisp handling, while a crossover could use 245/65R17 for added ground clearance and comfort. We can tailor a recommendation once we know your vehicle and driving needs.
Yes. Many performance builds run 17x8 up front with 17x9 or 17x10 in the rear to increase rear grip and enhance stance. Just ensure the overall tire diameter remains consistent to avoid traction control or ABS issues.
In many cases, yes, but brake clearance depends on the wheel’s spoke design and offset. Some aftermarket 17x8 wheels are specifically engineered to accommodate larger calipers, while certain OEM-style wheels may not. Always check clearance specs or test-fit before finalizing your purchase.
