Yes. Confusion comes from old size and new size markings. Tire mfgrs will tell you that you can safely go with a bead width one inch wider or narrower than the rim width. So a 14 inch rim can handle a 15 inch tire, which by today's new size marking is a 16.9 inch tire. 16.9 is the width of the 'bulge' of the tire, which is wider than the bead width. '50s and before, tires were marked in inches (w/o tenths), and it meant bead width.
