Re: wheel size question
It's correct. 7" is measured from the bead surface to bead surface. Usually if you measure total rim width minus 1" equals the advertised rim width.

Re: wheel size question
True, and because the rim width (where the bead seats) affects the section width of the tire the true overall width of the wheel must be accounted for.
