Young bobtail Rhys Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Put the tape across the rim between the two outer lips where the outside of the bead on the tyre sits. That is then your rim width and a poor explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Between the beads is the width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-Ron Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Easier still, it should be stamped into the wheel centre somewhere...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Neale Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 If you look at the face of the rim, it should be stamped with the size - something like 7Jx16 or 5.5Jx16 - 7J being the width, 16 being the diameter (both in inches) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
