What size wheels are these?

perryhMember

My rear wheels are stamped 8k x 15 on the rim, but see my measurement.

Also, only one of my wheels (front right) has DeTomaso and Campagnolo cast into it. They are all clearly magnesium.

Were some wheels made with the names cast into them and others not?

I have a slight diagonal due to missing the brake rotor with the yard stick but it is still a lot closer to 9” than 8”.

Maybe I have a parallax error due to my eyeballing it on the backside.

Cool - thanks.

The previous owner squeezed a 305 on it which was part of my head scratching.

I have never sized tires for 15" wheels before, but I know that the 275/40 17s on my Mustang required 9" wide wheels.

The old BFG Euro T/A (and Radial T/A) spec for their 305/50-15 tires specified a rim width range of 8"-10".

It has almost unused Euro T/As on it - probably 15+ years old though.
