Rear wheel width

Anyone out there with knowledge about the different widths of rear wheels through the years? Has front wheel width ever changed.

Are you asking about the width of the wheel or the width of the hub (i.e. spacing)?

Additionally;

Regular symmetric fatbikes use 135mm front (which is the same as MTB rear) and 170mm rear

fatbikes that are capable of 5 inch tires typically have run 150mm in the front and 197mm in the rear.

Wheels are typically from 80mm to 100mm.

So being pissy again?
Sheldon Brown's chart answered my clear question. But if you want to add other questions, great. The additional info would be appreciated.
Thanks maybe!
