Wheels are always measured over the tread. Prototype wheels have a nominal size because they are allowed to wear, possibly several inches.
Model wheel flanges are oversized compared to scale. On some steam locos the wheels are modelled smaller than scale because there isn't enough room, otherwise, for a pair of model flanges.
