Ok, so I've got the stock 17" alloys our X's come with and I'm shopping tires. One thing that I've overlooked until now is rim width. The tires I want have a range from 7.5" to 9". Does anyone know the width of my rims? I would HATE to drop the coin for these tires just to find out they won't fit.

Here's the rims:

I want to say 8" but not sure ... but do me a favor when you dismount the current tires .... weigh the wheel ... im going to get aftermarket ones soon but I wanna stay in the same weight range

I'll definitely weigh one for you. I REALLY hope they are at least 7.5", the tires I found are a great deal....
 






Fitting fatter tires on a skinnier rim isnt too hard to do its just hard the other way around. My tires are 265/65/17 which means theyre 30.5 inches tall and about 10.5 inches wide and I have a very little gap from which they fit. Hope that helped!
 






They are 7.5".
