So I measured my 16" sport wheels today with a tape measure, and they measured 17"........um I'm confused, I thought that 16" was supposed to be 16"? So if I got 20" wheels, would they actually be 21"? Can anyone explain?

did you measure the outside bead on the rim?

I would say you would need to measure where the tire actually sits(the bead) on the inside of the rim.

exactly! which should be 1/2" or 5/8" lip, which would make the rim 16" :)
