The tire's nominal width is not an approval to mount it on any wheel that produces the desired appearance. The tire manufacturer publishes an approved rim-width range for the specific product and size.
Look up the exact tire
Use the brand, model, size and relevant specification to find its technical data. Similar sizes or different models may have different approved ranges. A photograph of a stretched or wide-looking tire on another car is not a substitute for that information.
Confirm the wheel's actual width
Read the wheel specification rather than estimating across its outer lips. The nominal wheel-width measurement has a defined meaning, and an improvised measurement can be misleading. Have an unidentified wheel measured and identified correctly before selecting tires for it.
Finish the rest of the fitment assessment
Being inside the tire's approved rim-width range answers one question. Vehicle clearance, load capacity, overall dimensions, pressure guidance and mounting hardware still need review. Keep those checks together in the estimate so that one successful match is not mistaken for complete approval. If the published range excludes the wheel, choose a compliant combination instead of relying on examples of somebody else using it.

Frequently asked questions
Does the tire mounting successfully prove the wheel width is approved?
No. Physical installation does not replace the tire manufacturer's published rim-width requirements.
