I'd say 6" as a fairly good guess man
If you do measure one, it is not from the extreme outside of the rim, it is the part which the tyre actually sits into which gives you the width.

nup, too poor
you know, owning a rocky gets pretty exxy
... measuring as you read
EDIT: Mesured what i think is right from the diagramm and its about 5.5
from the inside edge up to the centre bit that has the holes for the studs in it

me too,
would that mean that a 15x7 tyre fits ok? Or u need a wider tyre than the rim? cause the tread on this tyre is about 7" but the inside bit (that goes on the rim) is heaps less than that

I know mine are 15x7".... But i read that the F78's have 'wider wheels' as standard... so im not sure
There is always a recommended rim width for a tyre. For example my MTRs have an approved rim width between 7-9".
These are used as a guide and you can stretch it slightly.. but effects could not be fun
If your rims are 6" wide... sweet as... if they are 7"... buy some old 6" or 5.5" zook rims
