Can anyone tell from looking at a picture if this is a 7” or 8” rim? I’m looking to buy them but want to make sure before hand. I want 8”. The tires on them are 275/60/15 if that helps

Aren't they stamped on the inside?

I don’t know and the guy is not seeing anything. What would the stamp look like or say?

Judging from the depth of the beauty ring, it's an 8". The size is usually stamped on the rim. It should say 15x8.

The stamping on my rims is by the valve stem, although mine are 6-lug 15x8. He might have to remove the trim ring.

I believe a 7" rim won't take a deep trim ring. But I have been wrong before!

I have those same trim rings on my wheels and they sit about the same. My wheels are 8". Also, that is a 275 tire and I'm thinking if it was a 7" wheel the tire would look a little more "fat" at the sidewall/wheel interface. Just my thinking.
