rim measurement

I know this sound dumb but how does one measure a rim to get the rite size? do you measure overall width or inside the flange to get size?

inside to inside. right where the tire bead will be.

thank you I was not sure but now I know

By the way I have heard the only dumb question is the one that was not asked.

Z-man, I'm far from an expert (see elsewhere on the board, for example), BUT: outside edge-to-outside edge, MINUS one (1) inch, equals "nominal" rim width. (I learned that during my recent tire/rim search.)

For example, my 9-inch rims measure a hair over 10 inches wide, overall.

yes, that is true thanks again for the help
