Hi,
I've bought some classic wellers that are supposedly "5.5 x 12"", but I can't seem to find this size anywhere else, only 5 x 12".
Does anyone know if they made them in 5.5 inches wide by 12 inches? (classic, "triangular vent" style).
Thanks. Guy.

By the way, I'm collecting the wheels in the next few days, so I can't measure them myself.

...also I think he mentioned 165 tyres so they would be flat sidewalls on 5" wide wheels.

They should be 12 x 5.
With wheels you normally measure the inside where the tire sits for the width, but the total will be more (obviously).
With my wellers they are 10 x 6 internally, but 7 if you measure total width.
So you will probably find they are 5 internally, and 5.5 total (as wellers have quite a big lip).
