Call a shop that sells wheels and get the specifications for a Hummer wheel and a Liberty wheel, or research it yourself online. There are many wheel retail/wholesale businesses with websites.
Edit: I just thought of something. Ever since Bill Clinton and the parsing of words, what most people take something to mean can be bent and twisted.
Technically, your boyfriend is correct, if what HE meant is that each wheel on an axle is the same width for safety, and that this rule applies to all vehicles, not that all wheels on every vehicle are the same width. |

Axle length differs among cars.
A car will have the same "width wheel" on both sides of the axle, however. Else it would be unsafe.
EDIT////
Also, different cars use different width wheels. Some vehicles have this width differ from the front and real axle, with the rear pair usually wider. |

They don't; they vary even within manufacturer. You are correct that they do not have the same wheel base. In my driveway I have a Dodge Caliber with a wheelbase of 103.7 inches and a Dodge Durango with a wheelbase of 119.2. If he is talking about mixing wheel widths on a car axle; the width of the wheel should be the same on the axle but there is no law for that just common sense and handling; though running the donut spares puts a different width wheel on the axle. |
