From inside to the outer lip? Fronts are coming back near enough 7.5 and rears are 9.

I think you will find that the correct measurement is across the outside of the rim without the tyre!!

No, just checked Car Bibles, its INSIDE of the rim from the base of the lip. Maybe nye that's what you meant   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

They say rim is usually about 1" less than tyre. ie 6" rim will take 185mm tyre

Aren't the rim sizes normally stamped on them somewhere - maybe on the inside?   s:?: :?: s:?:

They are on the 2's wheel. Inside of the spokes. I guess the same could be true of those.

Quite often, but sometimes they're on stickers instead which wear off  s:( :( s:(
