It appears to start at the 1" mark and go to 9 1/2" or so.

The sticker does say 'BIG-UN' though.

a 9 inch rim will have an overall size of about 10inch. 9 inch is inside lip where tyre sits. could squeeze a 245 on a 7 1/2 or 8 but you could also swap stickers over...............

Not only that, but he's measuring the Tire. Not the rim. And even when
you measure the rim, its the inside measurement, not the outsite measurement.

A 7" rim is almost 8" wide.
A 9" rim is almost 10" wide

I still dont think thats a 9 my friend.

Lets see the stampings on the back where it says 17 x 9 et55

Well, I just measured my front wheel that's 7x16 ET55 with 205/50/16, and it is 9 inches wide. (without starting at the 1 inch mark )

Let's not argue over minor details!

The dude's got BIG MEAT on a Ghia! And I don't mean hittin a deer to get meat on the car like I'd have to here in sunny Southeastern Michigan!

Seriously though... 6", 7", 8", 9" doesn't matter as long as he's not running the oh, so neutered 4 1/2's that came on these sexy beasts

Hey Trogdor,

You gonna need a thermonuclear reactor to get enough heat in those 245's to get any traction you know. What's the goal/objective/intended use for the Ghia?
