Thanks :)The tires are 165/50/15" and the rims are BBS RM012 - 15" x 7"

ekkin, are those the oe lips that came on your RM? They look like .5 unless my eyes are wrong. That would make them 15x6.5.

Yes I belive they are OE .5 lips, and you are right they should be 6.5" wide. But when I got my new tires mounted they measured the rims and said that they were 7" wide? I told them to measure it two times more, same result. I know that they should be 6.5"?

When you physically measure it, it will be 7", just like the dia will measure out to 16". So you do have 15x6.5. I have 15x7&8 RMs now on my 02.

Ok. I am thinking about getting wider lips next summer :) 7&8 sounds nice. Any pics of your car?
