It's 90 S5 vert.

Ted, I did a couple of searches on how wheels are measured and both DiscountTire and Gemplers says its from bead seat to bead seat. That makes sense to me as the bead seat is the interface to the tire. So assuming the rim/flange is 1/2" a 9.5" wheel will have a total width of 10.5".

Of course that realization totally negates my calculations in that previous post.

Here are some shots of the front wheel measurements. My wife doesnt wait for the iPhone to focus and she wears weird socks.
