   They do regulate all the dimensions rocker…

   Article 12.4 FIA technical regulations:

   1: Complete wheel width front between 305mm and 355mm,
   rear between 365mm and 380mm.
   2: Complete wheel diameter not to exceed 660mm for dry weather tyres or 670mm for wet weather tyres.
   3: Wheels to be measured horizontally across the axle line with the wheel in a vertical position and new tyres inflated to 1.4 bar.
   4: Wheel bead diameter to be between 328mm and 332mm.

   To answer your question, the diameter of the front and rear wheels is the same, but the difference in width can vary by between 10mm and 75mm.

   Maybe I missed something but it looks like they only regulate the width…Learn something new everyday.
