Larry and I just had a similar conversation a few weeks back, where he had ran into some erroneous information on a certain website. Recommended rim widths are indicative of the tire size itself, and not the Load Range/ply rating.
Ex. A 225/75R15 size tire has a 225 millimeter wide section width (bulge to bulge) no matter if it is a Load Range C, D, or E tire...................and thus needs to go on the same width wheel. You could possibly get a little variance between ply ratings depending on exactly where the bulge is, but it will be miniscule at best.
Just so everyone will know, most 225/75R15 trailer tires are measured on a 6 inch wide wheel to get their specs you see on the datasheets.
Here is a link to a Carlisle trailer tire spec sheet to show this:
