By the time you figure the door jambs and the weatherstrip stop that 10' wide will only be about 9'6".
That would give 9" of clearance on each side if you back perfectly right down the middle.
If you have only 9"6" net on a 10' garage door, somebody screwed up. Openings between the finish jambs are made to the overhead door size and then the weather strip is inside of that so maybe couple of inches less at most.
I always used a strip of doorstop and then the weatherstrip. While most around here use only the weatherstrip, on a very high door it looks ugly as each panel tilts as much as it can. With just a small amount of running clearance the panels are kept straight. Yes, some jamb the weather strip tight against the door, ignoring instructions, and the vinyl turns outward and has a short life.
