BAJA 17x9 8x165.10 Polished Wheel

The American Racing BAJA 17x9 8x165.10 Polished Wheel is a direct-fit aftermarket wheel engineered for vehicles with 8x165.1mm bolt pattern specifications. Built from cast aluminum and finished in a high-gloss polished surface, this wheel combines durability with distinctive appearance for off-road and street applications. The 17-inch diameter with 9-inch width and 4.530-inch backspace delivers proven fitment geometry for light trucks and SUVs operating in demanding terrain.

Specification-driven performance begins with the aluminum construction, which balances structural integrity against the 33.85-pound weight per wheel. The 8x165.1mm bolt pattern is specific to certain GM truck platforms, requiring exact verification before ordering. Backspace—the critical measurement from wheel centerline to the mounting surface—is set at 4.530 inches, a dimension that directly affects suspension geometry, brake clearance, and final ride height. American Racing maintains tight tolerances on this specification to prevent rubbing or suspension interference on vehicles running suspension modifications or lifted setups.

This wheel suits operators and enthusiasts running light trucks in patrol, recovery, or recreational off-road duty. The polished finish requires regular maintenance to resist oxidation and corrosion, particularly in coastal or high-salt environments. Owners should verify 8x165.1mm bolt pattern compatibility and confirm backspace clearance against their specific vehicle's suspension geometry before purchase. The 17x9 dimension is ideal for moderate tire sizes while maintaining OEM-comparable unsprung weight characteristics.
