Tire and wheel size

A turbo I am looking at has 20 in. HRE P-43 wheels but mounted with 19 inch p-zeros. Excuse my complete ignorance, but is this standard? Thought you would need 20 inch tires on similar sized rims? How would performance be vs. standard 19 inch turbo wheels and tires? Car is a 2009.

Wheels look great, just concerned about this setup. Have not driven the car yet. I have driven a 2008 turbo with stock tires and rims so I will have some basis of comparison. Thoughts??

Thanks in advance

You can not mount 19 inch tires on a 20 inch wheel, its physically impossible without damaging the wheel or tire.

Are you sure that information is correct? I'm guessing they are probably 19" wheels with 19" tires.

That is what I thought. Have not seen car in person. Add says 20 inch HRE p-43 wheels( they clearly are with HRE center caps). Close look at picture though shows 235/35 zr19 tires in front

Then the photos are a misrepresenting the car, or the ad is misleading. Either way, it would add a significant element of distrust between any buyer and this particular seller.
