So I bent one of my Boyd Coddington smoothie rims...I am about to replace it. I cant remember if It's a 18x8 or 18x9 ??

I pt a measuring tape to it and it measured at 10 inches...which is not possible as when I ordered them I order a set of 18x8's or 18x9 for the front and 18x10's in back...so I know I am not measuring it right..

Any info is appreicated.

Also, I looked on the inside of the rim and it appears the mesurment marking have been scracthed or rubbed off.

thanx

you have to measure from the inside of the bead to the inside of the other.
