Fuch Wheel width

Probably a dumb question but when talking about a 6x16 Fuch wheel is the 6 the measurement from width lip to lip? I am just trying to determine what I have without removing a wheel. Many thanks!

I think it is lip to lip, from inside to inside. So it looks like you'll have to remove the tire... (kinda hard with the wheel still under the car) It's easier to remove the wheel and be sure, it is stamped on the inside.

It's also stamped on the inner petal, if you can clean off the grime to see it...

Should say 6 J 16 on the inside next to the Fuchs logo (stylized fox head - triangle).

Fuchs is 'Fox' in German. Saying Fuch is like saying 'Fo' instead of 'Fox'.

6x15 refers to the bead width, the face to face width of a 6" Fuchs is ~ 6.6"
