That is not the case with most tires. Some are wider in the same MM as others, it just depends on the brand. Not all 275 MM tires will be EXACTLY 275MM, try it out with a ruler if you have same size tires in different brands with your car and your friends car, they will probably be a little bit differernt in overall width. It is strange, but true. Another reason why some people have an easier time getting 315's on their car compared to others.

315/35/R17s in back w/11in rim. I have seen same tire on 9in rim but I've also heard not to mount a tire that wide on a 9in rim. had to cut bumpstops off but havent had any problems even on speed bumps. Sorry no pics but maybe soon.
