17 Inch Off-Road Wheels
The right set of wheels can make all the difference when on the trails. Off-road wheels are specifically designed and engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of off-roading, providing the durability and performance required to conquer dirt, sand, mud and rocks. With so many different sizing options available, 17″ wheels stand out for their unique benefits: increased sidewall height, improved traction and grip, better clearance and more.
Does your truck or Jeep not provide enough support on dirt duties? The factory wheel and tire combo may be holding you back. Upgrading to a set of 17-inch off-road wheels with accompanying tires is the perfect solution. A 17-inch wheel setup is ideal for Jeeps, Toyota Tacomas, midsize trucks, SUVs—the list goes on. Not only can swapping OEM wheels to 17-inch off-road wheels enhance off-roading capabilities, but it also just looks right.
Hardrock’s number one priority is providing customers with expert advice and guidance when it comes to finding the right off-road wheels for their vehicle. We understand the importance of having reliable and high-performing wheels for your off-road adventures, and we’re here to help you make the best choice for your needs.
Why 17" Off-Road Wheels?
Dedicated wheels for off-roading have been part of the scene pretty much since trucks and Jeeps have existed. Due to the performance benefits these wheels provide, manufacturers are even pushing vehicles out of the factory with this in mind. But let’s be real: trail junkies and enthusiasts know that OEM wheels aren’t cut out for the task at hand. Plus, if you’re not shelling out big money for their top-of-the-line trim, then the factory setup is definitely not good enough. So, what’s the solution? You turn to the aftermarket world. Lucky for you, Hardrock Offroad offers six modern off-road wheel styles that come in 17-inch diameters: the H105, H106, H107, H108, and H109.
The Advantages of 17" Off-Road Wheels
One of the most popular reasons to upgrade your wheel diameter is to increase ground clearance, which can be crucial in off-road driving conditions. By increasing the size of your wheels and the size of your tire’s sidewall, you enable the sidewall to grip larger rocks and boulders encountered on extreme trails. On the subject of tires, taller and wider tires have deeper and wider treads, which improve performance in mud and soft surfaces. The added width also provides better acceleration on pavement.
- Better ground clearance
- Improved traction and grip on types of terrain
- Wider availability of tire sizes
- Aesthetic appeal
- Improved acceleration on paved roads
