I know what you did and it is a typical mistake. When you measure a wheel width you do not measure outer lip to outer inner as it will typically yield an additional inch. The proper way to measure is inner part of the outside edges (where the tire actually sits).

This is what I mean (no I am not an artist):

I measured it he wrong way

Love the VS8.2's so much the car feels so much more responsive with them on the car!
I see, I thought they didn't look that wide.

And that's a classic mistake measuring wheels, and the same goes when you measure the diameter, a 20" wheel will be more than 20" total diameter.

But those 245/35/20 Toyo tires looks pretty stretched sitting on a 9" wide wheel?
