    Thanks for the tutorial
    Cheryl, it is really better to measure intended wheel as you need that snugg fit also on a truck cover you may want to add 1/2 inch to the width to acomadate a bulkier wheel you that model has one. The finish width of cover is approx. 4"

    20" shorter? - I would think just 2", is this right?

    Thank you for making a tutorial. I saw your earlier post an thought "what a great idea!" especially since the colors you chose would match my car perfectly.

    Cheryl normally elastic is cut half the length. I find that for a 46" wheel 26" cut and joined is just right. 2" shorter would nit give you the stretch need to bring outsides toward the middle Hope this helps

    Thanks for clarifying - just sounded like an awful lot to subtract. Makes more sense now.
