It is well-known that if W is a set of costant width λ then the circumsphere and the insphere of W are concentric and their radii sum to λ. Here this fact is generalized to sets of constant relative width and it is shown that the result does not depend no W being of constant width, but rather on W satisfying the spherical intersection property; that is, W = ∩{ω + λB:ω ɛ W}.
