Default Weld (Type) wheels and tire sizing

How does it work? I mean, I understand how tires are sized on regular wheels, such as 275/40-17's. But, other tires, are sized (Example) 28x10.5's. First, WHY do they do that?

Now, I just saw a set of lightweight racing wheels on Ebay that were sized 15x8. Does that mean that those wheels can only hold tires as wide as 275 mm?
