Product Description

BAJA 16x8 5x114.30 Satin Black Wheel (AR1726865B)

Upgrade your ride with the classic and rugged styling of the American Racing AR172 Baja wheel. Built with trusted performance in mind, this 16×8 alloy wheel delivers both aesthetic appeal and functional reliability. Perfect for street vehicles, off-road builds, or custom trucks — the AR172 combines vintage character with modern strength.

Features & Capabilities

  • Size & Fitment: 16" diameter × 8" width — ideal for many street and off-road setups 
  • Bolt Pattern: 5 × 114.3 mm (also referred to as 5 × 4.5") 
  • Offset & Backspacing: 0 mm offset with ~4.5" backspacing 
  • Center Bore: 83.06 mm hub bore 
  • Load Rating: Approx. 2,200 lbs (carries heavy loads for everyday and light performance use) 
  • Construction & Material: One-piece cast aluminum alloy — strong yet lightweight 
  • Finish: Satin black / powder coated finish — gives a stealthy, clean look that resists corrosion 
  • Weight: Around 23.85 lbs per wheel 

Why Choose the AR172 Baja?

  • Combines vintage “bullet” style cutouts with modern dimensions for a look that stands out.
  • Versatile fitment for many popular 5×114.3 vehicles (Japanese, Korean, American compacts, midsize, etc.).
  • Durable design suited for daily driving, light off-road use, or show builds.
  • Satin black finish offers a balance between aggressive styling and subtle elegance.
  • Good load capacity makes it practical, not just cosmetic.

Fitment Notes & Tips

  • Confirm your vehicle’s lug pattern, hub bore, and brake clearance before purchase.
  • Use appropriate lug hardware torque and follow manufacturer installation instructions to avoid warping or damage.
  • The wheel’s 0 mm offset with 4.5" backspacing typically provides ample clearance, but verify against fenders, suspension, and strut components.

''Awesome discounts on fishing reels and GPSs. Plus they have next day shipping. The convenience of online shopping is awesome, especially since it's getting harder to get around in store.
They made sure I got the electronics I needed and all the hardware for the install. They even do repair and installs, so I ended up hiring them for the work I needed done on my Mercury. Awesome experience.''

JAMES

"Great experience! I Was looking to purchase a head gaskets for my Johnson 150 hp outboard motor. Mike & Ashley researched parts I needed and come to find out they turned me on to my outboard engine used O-Rings to reassemble my head covers and provided me with parts and torque specs! Thanks! 100% positive feedback and Recommend this Family Business if you need Marine Supplies."

SCOTT

Family owned and operated, which is a huge plus for me! I was browsing the website looking at Garmin gps units, their prices are great and competitive! I reached out to them to ask where I might find a hard to find lower unit part I was needing. They had it in stock! If they don’t have something in stock, they will get it asap! 100% recommend and I will buy from them again in the future!
