There is a local guy selling 15x7 Rallye wheels. My question is just this. Can you put a tape measure on the wheel across the front and measure 15" and then across the beads and expect to see 7"?
edit. Also how would you measure the backspace. From the back of the rim into the back of the center section?
Thanks

width is between the beads at the base of the beads. For backspaceing put a straight piece across the back & measure down to the wheel flats next to the bolt holes where it touches the axle flange. As said "offset' is a different dimention & related to absolute center & used far less frequently than "backspace"
