Default Can Someone Tell If These JDM 16s Are Mounted On Lower Profile Tires?

I'v been searching for some new rims on my NFR AP1 (still haven't decided which OEM rims look better with this color on a stock suspension) and saw this picture of a European model. If I'm not mistaken, these are the JDM/EDM 16s, but they somehow look bigger than usual while the profile is lower - am I missing something here or is the picture (1st) deceiving me? For measure, I added a pic (2nd) of a different NFR too.

1st pic is either a photoshop or a terrible aftermarket rim.

It doesn't look aftermarket to me, it just looks bigger, like a 17 inch version on lower profile rubber, but again, not sure.

Looks photoshopped as well. Rotors are too big. Popped this into paint and did some measuring

dia bumper sprayer, hole2hole/rotor2caliper

first pic: 37/99 = 37.374

2nd pic: 45/133 = 33.83

Yep...too disparate. It's really well done though.

yep totally photochopped but subtle, wouldn't have caught it unless you'd pointed it out. looks like AP1 wheels were given some viagra.
