Does anyone know the width of the 15" alloys on my car. The tyre is 185/65/15. I measured them and they came back 7.5". That cannot be right can it?

the tyre may measure 7.5 but the rim won't be, more like 6 I should think :smiley:

I thought it would be around 6" but I measured from the inside lip of the rim to the outside at 7.5" not the tyre. How do you measure them properly?
Heres a pic of them

with the tyre on it will be pretty difficult to get a measurement, I just had a quick look on the Vw website and the Golf Match which runs 195/65/15 said 6inch rim so it will be around that I should think

Im still set on the wheels I posted originaly and I am using a tyre offset calculator and need to know the wiidth is the offset 51? I am getting my arches pulled and rolled so I think I may be able to get away with them. Hopefully!! What do you think. The body shop said they can be pulled a couple of inches if needs be.
