I think if you used wheel width in mm's people would think that they needed to match the wheel width and tire width exactly which usually isn't the case.

Here's an example 225 width tire is roughly 8.85" and an 8" wheel is generally considered a good size for a 225 tire not a 9" wheel although it can be done it would be pretty stretched.
