    Rim width is usually inside measurement.
    thanks bro you have been a big help in the tire wheel area for me more than once

      Maybe you can explain the attraCtion to the streached look - I'm not bashing you I just don't get it - its big in the VW crowd as well

        Back in the day they did it to reduce tire roll in corners but they look silly to be!

          for me i love the look but also like stated above it does have some function if you read jimmy812's comment he explains it

          alittle (at least where the idea originally came from). i just love the look and ill probly run slightly stretched tires on my 8" wheels this summer when i road course because of the function. i just dont understand how you anyone couldnt like the look?
