Default 16x17 wheel

My JK has 16x17 wheels. What does the 17 mean? I'm assuming the 16 is the diameter? Any opinions on these wheels? I got these as -75$ 'option' on the 23 s package.

I believe you mean 17" rim size
Those tires are 32" All Terrain that come with the S pkg

X's are coming with 32's now?

Just had to ask, I was showing 1040 posts and I can't deal with having that number at this time of year.

No, the sticker says 16x17 aluminum wheels. And they are mounted with 255/75/R16 BSW tires. Its seems to be somewhere inbetween the 16 inch steel and the 17 inch aluminum.

Those are 16x7. If it says 17, it's a typo. They're 7" wide.

I am starting to think this is a typo on the sticker and on the web site. Do they mean 16"x7"? You can see this if you go on jeep.com and build your own wranger X ->choose 23 's' package. Then when it shows your jeep 'change feature options:
WHEELS16" x 17" Aluminum Wheels -$75
