    Well 7j is 7 inches (1 inch - 2.5cm) but a 7j wheel won't be 7 inches lip to lip

    hahah don't worry pal i know this aswell.

    you can find that if you buy wheels out of the u.k that they can be judge as JJ or even K just to make things even more confusing.

    but ye 7J wheels are 7" widebut don't think it means lip to lip can't remember exactly
