In relation to Tires, because it's industry standard, they take that into account when listing recommended wheel width's. So when they say a 245 wide tire is recommended on an 8" wide wheel, they know that a 8" wheel measures 9" overall.

Confusing, yes, but it makes sense.
thats what i always thought, glad to know i was right...lol
