No, The width of the rear really has nothing to do with how much tire you can get in there. you can only shove so much in the wheel well. The width of the rear really only changes how much lip you get on the wheel.
Just for example, say you need a 6" backspace on a stock width rear, and you end up with a 3" lip on a 10" wheels. If you narrow the rear 1 inch PER SIDE, you could reduce the backspace 1" and pick up 1" of outer lip for a 4" lip.
Or, say you mini tub and do not narrow the rear, you need a 8" back space and have a 3" outer lip. But if you narrow the rear 4 inches you can do a 6" backspace and get a deeper 5" outer lip
