Measuring rim width Fuchs
 
Hi another question. How do you take the measurement for a rim? Is it from the inside of the lip to the inside? Or outside to outside?

With the Fuch rims is there not a number stamped on the inside of the rim indicating size?

Thanks Again guys

Fuchs do in fact have a number stamped on them. Bruce Anderson's book has a table showing these numbers, size and offset. If you post the numbers here I can look them up for you.

The number will be stamped on Fuchs wheels.
That is the definitive answer.
I can't tell you how many times people have thought they had eights (or at least they claimed that they thought they did, usually when they are selling), based on their "measurements."

Inside it inside will get you close enough to the nearest known wheel size.

Thanks I will look for these numbers, are they easy to spot? where are they on the spokes or lip?

Shawn,

The part number and width, i.e. 7J x 15 ... are on the backside of the spokes, and you may have to clean off the brake dust/road grime to see them clearly!

They're on the back side of the wheel on the inside of a spoke - my 8x16's are marked 8JX16
