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.

If you have a wider rim and flip it you still have the same problem. A flipped 9j will stick out further than a flipped 7j (as its obviously a wider rim) and then ultimatley whilst you might be able to get more stretch you will still have arch clearance issues - think about it the rim is wider so its going to stick out from the arch even further. Quite simply the wheels dont fit and have too great and offset for Andy's arches - he obviously though his arches were bigger than they were. Stretching tires is done by about 0.5% of the total car driving public and is a little trick to make wheels that "just" dont fit with correctly sized tires "just" fit with incorrectly sized tires.
