i got the tape measure out today on my 18's and, rim edge to rim edge they are 19.5 inches but are wrapped in 18 inch rubber

so how does that work?

btw, i've got some 360mm's fitted as well

i think its the inside of the rim not the lip, the lip is just there so the tyre bead can sit air tight up against it....

righty ho then bonus_boy

Nash very!!!!!!

the upgrade from the standard 300's right from the start was a much firmer pedal with the same sort of stopping distances, and the pedal gets better and better, and at motorway speeds needed just a light press to bring the speeds down

the only downside is the amount of noise the holes seem to be making, but i'm sure that will die awa soon as well

Stick your finger up a womens bum, where ever the tide mark is on your ringer is the width you measure for her rim
