    Old stye Rangie Rims how wide - 7"or 8"?

    As the title says the old style Rangie rims, The steel ones, they were standard on my 1981 Rangie do you know what the width is? I thought they were 7" but the DPI said they are 8" ?

    thanks
    Steve

    A lot of people measure the rim over the outside lip, not the inside where the bead sits.

    Your rims may be stamped something like this: 16J x 6 x 33 = 16" diameter, J bead, 6" wide, 33 mm offset.

    I'm at work at the moment so I cant measure them.
    I'll just tell them they are 6" and see what they say.

    Correct size for original "Ro-Style" wheels on your 81 RR Classic were/are 6.00 JK x 16 and they were TUBE type.

    Original tyre size was 205 x 16 tube type (fabric) radial, often Pirelli "Centurauto".

    It's hard to tell from the pic .....too small and too dark.......they were pressed steel centres riveted (??I think???......ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE????? ) to steel rims ......the centres were styled to vaguely look like the alloys/mags of the time. An immensely strong looking wheel!

    Someone else might be able to post a better pic.......but they were standard rim till the 3 "spoke" alloys came in on Hi Lines and Vogues in mid 80's.
