Default Measurement please?

If somene with TT IIs in either 17" x 8" or 17" x 9.5" has their wheels off, would you please take a measurement for me? I would like to know the INSIDE diameter of the wheel at or near the back edge. I am making templates of tire/wheel sections for measuring purposes.

Thanks in advance,

OK, I'm going to need more than that. I also need the overall Outside Diameter and the overall Width(17 +? X 9.5 +?)

I will have a warranty replacement TT2 in 17x8 in any day now. It will be a loose rim, so I can get any measurements you need when I receive it.

Inside diameter at inner flange: 16 7/8".
Overall diameter 18 9/16"
Overall width: 8 15/16"

This is a 17x8 rim.

Thanks a lot for the measurements. By inner flange do you mean the mounting surface? If so, I would also like the wheel ID at the outer most position on the back side (if it's not too much trouble or too late).
