AHHHHHHHHH!!!! i just got new rims but have a question? JIM85IROC----------------->


I just got some rims off ebay and he guy said that they were 15" rims.I measured the very front of em and it was 16" across.But looking at it from a different angle i could see how they could be 15".Also i went to measure the rims on my car and they are 14" but measured 15".What gives?Now,i dont know what size tire to get.Im guessing they are 15" so can someone please recommend a good looking tire size!
Thanks

dude...are you from your mothers bed? might wanna change that...some people might not take you seriously...imo. also, if you are gonna buy some rubber for those "tight" rims you got, it would be a good bet to bring them to the tire shop for a sure combo. later

I have experience...unfortunatly,its a result of bad judgement.

The measurement is not taken from the outer lip, but rather the inner edge where the bead of the tire sits. If you measured 16", then you have 15" rims. My 16" rims measure over 17" across.
