I scored a set of brand new (3 day out) stock rims off a guy
today...FREE! Got them at the Discount Tire while I was having a screw/
nail take out of my tire... The guy with the '97 Dakota (4 cyl) got new
rims, and put the stock rubber onto the new rims... I asked what he was
going to do with the old rims... He said "do you want them? Take 'em."
Now when I got home, I read on the rim 15X7, when I measure the
width I get 8" outside-outside edge, and 7" inside-inside lip... So
what's the REAL measurement???
