What are you using? The rim provides a better place to measure with strings because the tire sidewall is not perfectly straight or parallel to the wheel surface so it is hard to measure precisely on 2 places on 4 tires. However, yes, that distance is shorter so it's a little harder to measure and adjust accurately. You could lean a rectangle of plywood against the tire like a toe plate and measure to the edges of that instead.
