generally wheel with a 451 rim is needed to get narrower tires ,
it's still a nominal 20"
but rim is bigger with the tire narrower to achieve that.

in the past there was great interest in BMX racing ,
in the Italian manufacturing companies .
On sprint Moto Tracks like used on last 2 Olympics,
for that they made sew-up tires and rims..

Check this out:
Personally I am annoyed that all the low weight 451 tyres are very narrow. The manufactures know what is best but joe public still thinks narrow is fast so we get narrow tyres ;(
This is a great video also (but just lab tests ;( );
Wider > faster.
