Well, I'm glad you guys think it will work. The seller told me they were:

9x17 et 6
10x17 et 19

When they arrived I was thinking they looked huge. After measuring them I found them to be:

10x17 stamped et6
11x17 stamped et19

What would be a good stretch to run? 215? 225? Also what brand tire stretches best?

Hi Fernando

You sure you measured them correctly?
Wheels are measured between the beads (running surface) not the whole width

If it doesn't fit, you can always sell them to me :)

Thanks Luke!! I did not know that. I always thought you just measure lip to lip


Here is what I came up with....












So what size are my wheels?

I cut out the carpet the other day. It was filthy. I was happy to find that under the carpet was not a spec of rust! I cleaned it up and it came out like new.

I should have taken before and after pics but it slipped my mind. Here is the carpet painted and installed.

I used dupicolor fabric spray paint. Gave it like 3 coats. I am happy with the results. I just hope it will stand the test of time...

yep, they're 9 & 10, you measure the inside between the lips

(bead to bead)

Ok, I think I get it.....from one lip to the bead + the other lip to the bead....right
