Rim size question

This may be a stupid question, but is the width measurement of a rim as simple as pulling a tape from the outside of the lip to the outside of the lip? And, can a stock size rear C5 tire fit on a 10-1/2" rim?

Thanks.

A 275 will fit on a 10.5" wheel but it will look a bit anorexic

Better off with a 285.

You want to measure from the immediate inside of the lip edge to the other side immediate lip edge.. Here is an example..

This is a 9.5" Wheel.

rim question

Thanks for the visual. Makes it easier to understand. I now know that I have 9.5" rims.

Thanks again
