Question on Tyre Sizes - Polished Alloys vs Normal

Post by Akira » Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:23 am

Looking around at V10 R8 Coupes and I noticed that the Y shaped polished alloys actually come with 305/30 R19 Tyres and that the normal Y shaped come with 295/30 R19 tyres.
In fact, any polished alloy option seems to have 305/30's on rather than the 295's

Anyone know why the profile is different on the polished wheels!!
