Mounting 15" Tires on 390mm Wheels

eBay seller, "cjboffoli", is currently offering four 390 OEM BMW alloy wheels in auction
Item #561565810. The unusal part is "The tires on them now are 200/60 R15...."
Mounting 390mm tires on 15" rims is not supposed to work because the rims are just over
2% too small. But since tires have some stretch, the person who chose to mount the
slightly smaller tires on the 390mm rims must have reasoned it would work.
Do any list members have experience with such an arrangement?
