Thats how wide the rim is 17x8 is an 8 inch wide rim . 17x9 is a 9 inch wide rim .

Your stock rims are 17"x8" w/245/45/17 tires, Goodyears were stock. (and not the best tires around)

17x9s look better too...you can go as wide as 275 tires with 9" wide wheels..but the prefered MAX width is 265

so if i get 17x9 rims,, iwould have to replace my stock 245\45\17 tires and go with 265 or 275

Yep... I'd get 17x9's if you plan on changing em.
