Wheels - identifying size
#11
...no it wouldn't you just stick a ruler / tape measure between the spokes and measure to the inside of the wheel. If you're REALLY stuck you could poke a stick through, and hold your thumb where it comes out of the wheel - like Bear Grylls would.

Take the car back and get the plebs to put it right, and stand over them and watch them get their hands dirty.
And I know where I'd be sticking the ruler!

I'll have a quick look tonight. Regardless of the outcome, I'll express my displeasure in no uncertain terms.
Probably did around 35 miles with the wheels as they were, hopefully it hasn't upset the diff too much. (Not like it was rolling around with a space saver on the back)
Seems I made the mistake of assuming a third party couldn't possibly mess up something as simple as wheels and tyres. (They were even labelled, both wheel and tyre!)

The dimensions and offset are on the rear hub mounting face, IIRC. Or the back of the spokes on the BBS; IDRC!
They may be filled with powder coat...
If you measure between the spokes & deduct about 1/4" for the thickness of the alloy, you'll determine the width.
The Euro look would also make it obvious...

Just measured the wheels.
Looks like the right tyres are fitted to the right wheels, they have just fitted them to the wrong corners. Looks like I'll swap these myself.
(Yes, measuring them between the spokes showd the difference between wheels was quite obvious)
