I know I am going to get tired of the all blackness, then I'll change the color to pink on the equips. Memoryfab had your wheels down as 12.5 on the rear.

lol, that's why I couldn't guess what wheels you bought when you posted this as a teaser. MemoryFab posted wrong specs from what you posted, they couldn't even get the width right?

it was measured tip to tip of the wheel which is 12.5 ... but when measuring for rims size you measure the inside ..

I hope other wise i have 12.5! !!! hahaha

but for the front 8.5 ? iono its a 9.5 so yea ... great shop though !

hmmm... whenever i get tires balance they whip out the measuring tool and measure the outsides (from lip to lip) for the width. It comes out exactly what is on the spec sticker on the inner barrel. What exactly do you mean rim size?

^ on all wheels ive ever seen the wheel width is actually the captive bead area of the rim which is normally like 1/2 - 1" less than the lip to lip measurement. this is where people often go wrong when doing their own offset calculations, because they say 'oh the rims are 9" wide' because thats their spec e.g. 19x9, but when you actually measure lip to lip theyre 9.5 or 10" wide, so it effects the calculations too.

oh ok. I don't know, maybe that measuring tool accounts for that. That's good to know. So what's the correct way to measure offset?
