All fat lip wheels will measure about an inch wider from lip to lip than advertised. If your looking at a 18x8 your wheel will measure closer to 9.

I've read alot of posts saying guys use 9.5's all the time with no probs so why would Coy's 9.5's be a problem. Is it the fact that Coy's are a fat lip design and are accually wider than 8 or 9.5?
