I'm trying to make sense of wheel rim sizing:

If my understanding is correct, only the last 5 columns are related to the rim itself.
1.) Wheel (Rim)Size - what's the first number? Is that the width of the rim? The second number is the diameter.
2.) If the first number is the width of the rim, then how can the width between flanges be so much smaller (I take it flanges are those things that the beads sit against).
3.) The flange height - is that on top of the "Wheel (Rim) Size second number?
