You measure the inner diameter. I think that'll be 2.5

You're the one measuring it. It looks like 2.5 from the picture. The lip looks to be about 1/2 an inch.

You measured from the outside of one side to the inside of the other, so you have to subtract the width of the lip from what you have measured in the picture. It's 2.5"

I would say 3". Buy 2.5 and 3 and then sell one. might loose $5 but what the hell will save time.
