Sounds dumb, but I forget the size, width and offset of some rims I got a year ago. I need to post them for sale, and i figure that information might be useful to disclose. haha.
I know usually you either just know, or look at the tire size.... but if there's no tire on the rim and it's not stamped with anything on the back... how do you measure the size of a rim? Also is there a way to measure offset?
