Not quite.........
When a rim is said to be 10" or 7" wide, that is the width where the tire sets.
Actuall rim width is usually about 1" wider because of the lip thickness.
(aprox. 1/2" per lip)
So a 10" rim is actally 11" wide on the outside.
And this 1/2" will sometimes cause clearance problems with shock bodies, tires, etc..
