Probably, yes. There are some recommendations on rim width vs tire width - I'll post a link. You have to scroll down a bit.

What is cross-sectional width of tire?
A tire's section width (aka"cross section width") is the measurement of the tire's width from its inner sidewall to its outer sidewall (excluding any protective ribs, decorations or raised letters) at the widest point. This measurement is made without any load placed upon the tire. The rim the tire is mounted on affects this measurement. On a narrow rim the measurement would be "narrower" than if the same tire was mounted on a wide rim. The industry rule of thumb is that for every 1/2" change in rim width, the tire's section width will correspondingly change by approximately 2/10". For example: a tire in the P205/60R15 size is measured on a 6.0" wide wheel and this size tire has an approved rim width range from 5.5" to 7.5" wide. The tire has a section width of 8.23" (209mm) when mounted on a 6.0" wide wheel. If that tire were mounted on a rim: 5.5" - 8.03" cross section width 7.5" - 8.93" cross section width It's mainly important for (fender, frame)clearances, but a narrow rim should give a softer ride due to sidewall positioning, but less grip due to tread not less flat, more sidewall roll.
What size rim for a 31 10.5 r15 tire?
the R stands for RIM , Example R15 Is a 15 Inch Rim The R actually means it is a tire of Radial construction. The wheel & tire diameter is 15" but the width of the rim should be 7" to 8" for this size tire.
Can a 10 inch tire fit on a 7 inch rim?
You must know the answer is NO. Not necessarily true, we're talking about width I assume, the section width of the tire 10" in this case is measured at the widest part of the tire. The bead, the part of the tire that sits on the wheel, is significantly narrower. Just as an example P245/55R20, which is a 10" wide tire lists the apporved rim width as 7.0"-9.0", so depending on the exact size it is very possible that your 10" wide tire could go on a 7" wide rim.
What is the smallest rim that a 295 50 15 tire will fit?
the last # on your tire is the size rim you need for that tire 295 50 15 /15 inch rim I am sure you know it must be a 15" rim and were asking about the width of the rim. You need at least a 9" wide rim but a 10" would be even better to avoid tire bulge.
What does 225 60R16 mean?
Tire sizes are expressed in the format WWW/AAXDD. WWW is the tire's section width, measured in millimeters. AA is the aspect ratio or profile of the tire, which expresses the tire's height as a percentage of its width. X is a letter indicating the tire's internal construction. DD is the diameter in inches of the wheel that thetire is intended to be mounted on.These are metric tire size numbers 225 is how tall it is, 60 is the width R is for rim, the rim is an inches size, and is 16 inch rim.
Can a 205 65 R15 tire fit on any 15 radius rim?
No ! the radius of the tire has to be 7.5 inches not 15 inches. The diameter has to be 15 inches, and the width has to be compatible with the tire width.
How do you tell what size rims to buy for a set of tires you already own?
Read the side of the tire. It should have a number such as 225/70/R15 The 225 is in millimeters, the 70 is a fraction or 70 % of the tread width the R is for Radial tire type and the 15 is the rim diameter. You can also measure the inside of the rim not to include the rim bead. Be sure to tell the rim manufacture the tire size to get a proper fit for the tire width.
Are grooves in a tier called profile?
No the grooves are the tread, the profile is the height of the tire from the rim measured in percentage of tire width.
