Wheel Gurus!

I need to know the lip size on my vs-xx but they've still got tires on them. Measuring from in front of the face I'm getting 2". So that'd be a 2.5" lip right?

I'll measure a spare lip tonight.

Btw, found an old convo between Jake and I when he was helping me build my VS-XX.

When measuring your current lip, , measure from the inner flange (where the barrels/faces/outer lips meet) to the outer flange (outermost portion of the rim) and subtract 1/2". That'll give you your current lip size, then just add an inch to that to get your desired specs

When you measure a wheel, the reported specs are from bead to bead, NOT from the outermost portions of each lip. For example, a 10" rim will measure 11" from the outermost portions of each barrel, but it will measure 10" from bead-to-bead. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense, because you order tire size based on bead width, not overall rim width. So you subtract a 1/2" from just the outer lip measurement in order to give you the effective width of the lip, not the physical width.

thanks man. yeah if you could measure a lip the correct way and measure it from inside the lip that'd be great.

I got some people telling me it's only a 2" lip but I'm pretty sure its 2.5

IF it's real, mime aren't, add inner and outer thickness, aka, remove tire.
