Not the case, that sounds like random employees just guessing random things so their own job would be easier 
Takes just a minute to check any Porsche material yourself: Both 2RS and 3RS have the same wheel specs, including offsets, widths, and tire sizes.
9.5x20 ET 50 front and 12.5x21" ET 48 rear, these have not changed from the gen1 3RS (but the default wheel itself is a tad different looking and bit lighter in the gen2 RS than in the gen1 RS - that is a bit surprising detail actually).

At the time when the conversation was first had the .2 3RS had not been launched yet, so there was no publicly available information.

I am sure that the tire and rim sizes are the same as they can fit any bigger wheels without rubbing issues. I am sure that the OEM Manufacturer had to modify tire fitment or to be more clear the inner part of the lip of the rim as it affected how the tire set into the wheel. The Cup 2 tend to bulge on the OEM wheels causing rubbing issues. which is not the issue when using wheels like BBS F1 R the tires have a straight profile avoiding any rubbing issue. I am sure they have also improved the ires build make them lighter

We now know why the exterior is in ugly chalk. No one will notice it while Porsche conducts tests.

Only a car guy would notice it's a '19 anyway.

Interesting article:
https://jalopnik.com/the-2019-porsch...s-o-1825566919
interesting quotes:
"One of the hallmarks of a car that is well balanced on the race track is a drivers ability to turn consistent lap time with it. Remember that bonkers lap from our friend Kevin Estre? Well it turns out that there were four laps. The times were 6:59.3, 6:57.5, 6:57.7, 6:56.4. That’s it. Four laps. Four lap times under seven minutes. Four laps all within three seconds of each other.That’s pretty damn well balanced in my book."
"The second bit of bad news is that the RS will only be produced until Spring of 2019. Estimates are that only about 2,000 RS-es will be allowed to roll of the line in that period of time, making one of the most sought-after Porsches also one of the most exclusive."
