I have a 2002 F250SD with 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel.  One of my rims has a pin hole crack in it and leaks air (about 10psi per day).  I have since JB welded the hole on the inside of the rim.  In the event the weld don't hold how do I know what size rim it is?  The wheels and tires were on the pickup when I bought it.  The tires are 35x12.50R16.  Please help me.  Thanks

You should already know the diameter.  The rim width is from the inside of the rim to rim ( where the bead of the tire is ).  Most cast aluminum wheels have it cast in on the back side and some steel wheels have it stamped in.  When you had the tire off you could have measured.  If the rim width looks about the same as the tread width it should be 10" wide.  But don't guess at it, find the numbers or measure.
