wheel width. How is it measured?

Post by **RattyMcClelland** » Sat Jan 11, 2014 5:15 pm

Boys....I'm confused and not just sexually.
My wheels I'm refurbing are 17x8.
I pulled it out along with a tape measure and measured it.
Too my amazement it was actually 8.9". Also my wheels are 8.9" wide too.

So what gives? I take it they are not measured edge to edge.

Wheel size is measured from inside the bead I believe

Area where you should measure them is where tyre is fitted, from wall to wall in side of the wheels, Im on the phone now but will find a photo on my Pc later and show you.
