Default tire help

So I just got my H3 and it has eagle alloy 185 rims... But the spare is still the stock chrome with a cover over it. That drives me insane. I wanna get another rim to match the 4 on it... It's a 17" rim but I don't know anything else about it. Width... Offset. Stuff like that. The tires do stick out further than the fenders... Not a rediculous amount but further than stock... Is there a stamp somewhere I should look for? Where can I get the specs? I wanna make sure to get a matching one for the spare.... PS.... I'll be lookin to sell the stock chrome spare if anyone's wanting one rim.

looking on their website, hers what ive found...
17x9
6x5.5 pattern
-8 offset
4.625 BSM ?
it doesnt look like they offer a whole lot of size configurations... i just looked at the one that had the H3 bolt pattern. i assume the 6x5.5 is the correct pattern?

Diggles,
It think you have found the wheel that you need.

17x9 looks right
6x5.5 is correct
-8 offset (is a meaningless number. It's the result of width & backspace. It's really not important.)
4.625 = Backspace measurement (it's smaller than OEM, so that is what makes your tires stick out approx. 1" more that stock.)
It looks like that's what you have in your photo.

Sweet. Thanks... There appears to only be the one size with a 6x5.5 pattern in a 17.... The only thing is the bolts around the lip of the 185 (fake bead lock) are different. The older ones I've got are hex head bolts... The newer ones are rounded torx bolts. Wonder if I can talk to eagle alloy and see about replacing them to all match..... A minor detail.....

if not a trip to lowes or home depot may be in order, just make sure you get stainless steel so they don't rust. even if you didn't swap them probably only a couple in a hundred would notice being as it is your spare
