The size is taken from the size of the rim itself!!! This is bit of the wheel in the middle between the 2 sidewalls!!!
So when you measure it like you have you are measuring the rim size and extended sidewall(sidewall keeps the tyre on the wheel) so it seems bigger!!!!!

i think that made sense!!!

BTW, I am a little confused with wheels. I measured my current alloy (not inc. tyre) and it measured just over 15" They are 14" wheels as my tyres are 165/60/14 so whats going on?

I have today ordered some Fox 1 Evo's in Crystal finish. I have gone with 16" as I couldn't be bothered modding the arches because of the skirts. It's lowered and so I'm thinking that it won't look much different with 16's over 17's.

I'll get some pics up when its finished - I can finally dump those nasty standard rims!!! :cool:
