not true. been explained pretty well above but basically wheel size isn't the problem, tyre size is. tyres hit arches so by putting it on a properly sized rim (9j FOR EXAMPLE) means you get some stretch, thus giving you clearance.

the fact flipping rims is only practical with close to 0 offset rims just proves its not worth the effort. Why lose your valve to get 15mm more dish?
