Size error on back of 8x16 Fuchs

I removed my set of 7 & 8 x16 Fuchs from my 88 Carrera today. They are white in color matched to the car and have been on the car since 1999 and I've had two sets of tires on them. Today, I decided to put the 6 & 7 x 16's back on the car and removed the other ones. What I found shocked me a little. One of the wheels was marked 8 x 16, but the other is marked 8 x 15, however, i've been running 16" tires on them since 1999. My only guess is that one was mismarked (stamped wrong) when it was produced because if it was a true 8 x 15, I would not have been able to mount the 16" tire. Anyone ever seen this type of anomoly before on a Fuchs alloy?
