Look for the size marking on a wheel, unless you know how to measure a wheel. Last year for my Lexus SC300 (5speed) I purchased, on ebay, a set of wheels that "measured" 17 x 8, and if you measure outside to outside in both directions it measured 17 x 8. Marked on the wheels was 16 x 7. I learned my lesson, the hard way.
