Ralley wheel measurements

[PipsC10]

I have a set of ralley wheels that measure 9 inches from lip to lip. When people are referring to an 8 inch ralley wheel do they actually measure 9 inches like these do? I am afraid it is a little too much wheel in the front for my bagged truck and I am thinking about going with less rim width. I just want to make sure I get the right ones. If an 8 inch ralley actually measures 8 inches I will go with some of those for the front, or a 7 inch rim.

Here is a picture of my wheels back from the powder coater. I really like the way they turned out, they are mounted with a 245/60/15. I should have my center caps back from the chromer next week.

Thanks for any help with the measurements.

That is what mine measure and mine are considered 8's. Here is a pic of mine on the truck with 235's on the front.

I'm pretty sure you measure wheels inside bead to inside bead. You can get van ralleys pretty cheap. That's what I have on the front of my suburban right now. They measure 6 1/2 inches bead to bead.

You have to measure inside the bead to the inside such as rob pictured. Yours would be 8"

Thanks for the help guys, that makes sense. Also thanks for the pics Hart Rod and Nicolas. I will probably go with van ralley's in the front.
