Exact S-lite diameter

I am making a camber adjustment jig and need to know the exact diameter of a 17" S-lite (I would assume its 17"). I would check kit myself but my MCS is getting some paint work done at the moment. Thanks

17 inch wheels are 17 inches, if they varied tires would not seat properly

Thanks C-Lop. I thought so but w/o my car in front of me I didn't know if it was to the rim's lip edge or not.

17 inches is the ID of the tire, not the OD of the rim lip. My S-Lites measure 18 1/2 inches OD.

Funny, I would have thought 17', but they are indeed 18.5" OD.
