Re: trying to find size on these rims. front or back?

My 6 lug rims look like those, and I have P225/75R15 tires also, and on the inside of the rim they are stamped 15 x 5-1/2, so I can only see the marking if I remove the tire from the rim.

I bent a stiff wire around through the center hole and adjusted it so it just touched the point marked with an arrow on either side of the wheel, then carefully removed the wire without bending it, and it measures 5-7/8 inches on my wheel. So, apparently the metal thickness accounts for the difference. You should be able to use this info to measure yours without removing the tires.
