Default tire section width question.

My Z has had a tire that had a section width of 12.6 on it (315/35/17 Hoosier Dr) I'm switching to a tire that has a section width of 12.4 (315/35/17 BFG DR). If the Hoosiers didn't rub then the BFG's shouldn't, right??? I just want to make sure before I order them. These measurments are according to TireRack website.

Shoudln't rub, but each manufactuer has funny ways of "measuring" that distance . . . .

I mean 315 mm = 12.4 inches . . . so why does it change from tire to tire . . .
