Remove the hubcaps and place the straightedge against the circular rim that sticks out just inside where the hub cap snaps on. Now slide the straightedge outwards until one end strikes the outer edge of the rim. You have the right rims if the straightedge just misses clearing the outer rim edge (where the wheel weights nestle) by about 1/8" or about 3mm.
