Incorrect.

I've stacked a set of 275/35r18s next to an identical set, 1 mounted on 18x9 and 1 mounting on a set of 10s and the difference was HUGE. They looked slightly pinched on the 9s and pretty straight up and down with the 10s and there was over 4" of difference in the total stack height. I was shocked. That's why it is key to keep in mind the width of the wheel.
