What size pizza pans did you guys use on your wheels?

I have 16 inch rims but a 16 inch pan is too small. Did anyone use 17 inch pans and where did you find them?

Considering that 18" pans are a near perfect fit for the 17" wheels on my Mustang, 17" pans should be a good fit on your 16" wheels.

I would measure the diameter of the inside of the wheel flange lip. The cover should just fit inside of that. Take the tape measure to the store with you.

For those interested, I used 14" pans on my 13" wheels. Seems to be a pretty consistent pattern.

I too follow the pattern. My 15 inch rims would have left a bit too much space around a 15 inch pizza pan. I would have liked to have found 15.5 inch pans, but I only found 16 inch. I may actually go and trim the edge down if I get access to a proper cutting/lip-making device(s).

I bought them at a store called Ace Mart. It does mostly commercial kitchen/restaurant stuff, but it has a GREAT selection of all kinds of cookware. I paid about 6 bucks each for my aluminum ones.

Their website is here: http://www.acemart.com/

Edit: It seems that they don't have any stores in your area, so if you ordered from them, the shipping might cost more than buying locally. Maybe you can find a better deal online elsewhere
