I am putting 17"s on the new boat trailer. I know the lug pattern is 5/4.5.
Questions.
What Offset do I need?
The tires I believe they run are 225s. What is the series/sidewall. 35,40,45,,,,?
Thanks in advance.

My buddy has 17's. I think they are 45 series. The biggest thing to watch is the load rating. I think he was right at or a hair above it and made it about 100 miles before he had a blow out.

just remember, the shorter the sidewall the rougher the ride. meaning, your boat will get a beating on those rough roads worse than a std 14" wheel and big tire.
