maybe he just wants to stretch the rubber a little and hopefully it'll fit over the 19" wheel

Just to be sure we're all on the same page, no. Tires can go ONLY on the diameter of wheel they are built for. Width-wise, they have some flexibility, but when it comes to the wheel diameter, that is set in stone.
