So, your question will be like "Will 17 X 8 be a good idea"?

Clarify your question just a little more...man.

If your question is what I think you're asking...YES. I have 8 and 9 myself.

yes you can put 17x8 rims in the rear but if you do that then you will have 2 different size types of tires which will cost a bit more but you do get more traction for the launching but you cant rotate the tires
