Swedish translation error in my head. Back home wheel is translated to “hjul” rim + tire. I.e. over here I should have said tire diameter not wheel diameter, not the first time this causes confusion for me
I’ve not calculated the exact resulting tire diameter between front and rear in all cars we mention here, I guess I trust Porsche here when they stated the larger contact patch without adding width and resulting added stability of the rear as their reason for staggering them...they usually don’t do things just because fashion.
