Are 17 inch wheels good for off road?
For off-road performance, we prefer to stick to the rule of thumb of running a wheel diameter no bigger than half the tire height. That typically means 15 or 16-inch wheels for 33s and 17-inch wheels for 35s or so. If you want sufficient sidewall flex on the trail, stay away from lower-profile tires.

Are chrome rims bad?
No, they’re not bad, they are the more fancy, or dress up version of wheels, so they look really sharp when polished, but they are also heavy which will decrease your MPG little bit over aluminum rims, and while aluminum rims won’t give you a mirror like look they can still be shined up pretty good.
Why are big rims bad?
Putting larger wheels on a vehicle than the ones with which it left the factory can cause problems for a vehicle’s suspension and brakes even if lower-profile tires keep the overall diameter the same. Bolting on larger metal wheels gives your vehicle’s springs and shock absorbers more weight to contend with.
Are 16 inch wheels better than 17-inch?
AAA – Yes, wheel size has a big impact on ride comfort. The smaller 16-inch wheels come with tyres that have larger sidewalls that act as cushions against sharp edges on the roads, like ruts and potholes. While 17-inch tyres look much better, the shorter sidewalls aren’t as good in filtering out road shocks.
What is the advantage of 17-inch wheels?
The smaller 17-inch tires represent the most comfortable ride thanks to the larger sidewall. The 18-inch tires create a bit more road noise, and this is further exacerbated when the car jumps up to the 19-inch wheels and tires.
