Rise over run is used to determine slope. It doesn't matter which number is bigger. It simply tells you how far up a slope climbs over what distance. So on a roof for instance, 4/12 means the roof climbs 4 inches higher every foot of width.

The stair tread depth is typically how many inches more than the run so that it sticks out?
Your run should always be longer than the rise. Current International Residential Code states the rise cannot be greater than 7-3/4" and the run cannot be less than 10". A common stair stringer has a 7" rise with a 11" run. rip your stair tread to 12" , this will over hang the run on the stringer by 1", when you install your toe kicks, use 3/4" material and you will wind up with a 1/4" overhang on each tread. Of course there are different ways to do this, but I believe this is most common.
