How do you tell the rim width of your tires

Does the wheel look like this?



16x6 6-6.5 0 3200 Clear Coat
16x6 8-6.5 0 3580 Clear Coat

Might have to call Tredit to find width.

BTW, these are noted to crack at the base of the spokes. You should watch that carefully and/or talk to Tredit about it.

For OE tires look on the tire placard. It will list rim sizes like this.....16x6......or 15x5.5

All tire manufacturers must provide lists of acceptable rim widths for all tires they make.

I agree it should be stamped on the inside. Even in the automotive industry the factory wheels are stampped inside., or cast into the aluminum

You can get pretty close starting like agesilaus described. Lay it on the driveway and lay a straight board across it. Measure from the bottom of the board to the ground and call that A. Measure from the board to the top of the bead and call that B.

Rim width is approximately A - B - B - 1/2.

You can go here http://www.tredit.com/wheels and match up the wheels you have on the ground to the picture and then see the spec's. Chris

I know mine are stamped on the rim. Maybe Owners manual as well?

I measure mine by sticking my measuring stick/tape through the slots in the wheel.
Remember trailer wheels require a zero offset.

Rim width is the dimension between the bead seat faces. On most wheels you can just stick a tape measure through a hole in the wheel center, and eyeball it. Wheels run in even 1/2" increments, so you can figure it out. No need to take the wheel off the trailer. If you measure across the outside of the wheel, that will be about 1/2" larger than what you want to order.
