bead to bead, actually. Don't know why you're asking, but don't forget about offset and bolt circle either.

When it is noted a 16" wheel, how is this figured?

Ah, I thought you were talking about width, sorry. The overall diameter of the wheel will be a little larger than the nominal size, so if you measure a wheel at, say, 15-3/8" (to pull a number out of my ass) it is a 15" rim. Definitely not a 16" in this example.
