Re: wheel question
That all depends on the backspace. Measure them and let us know what you have.

Re: wheel question
Are they 17x8's or actual 17x9" rims?
If you measure an 8" rim from outside to outside edge,... they will be 9". Wheels are measured from the bead surface of the wheel.

Are you measuring from the wheel mounting surface to the backside edge of the wheel?

Re: wheel question
