That's what I was referencing above. But I don't think it's because of physical fit, rather than just driving dynamics:

, and tire width, even at 18 inches, can safely grow to as much as 235 – but only in the rear. The front tires need to stay at 215.

They don't say why. Other people that have measured have pointed out the fenders are prerolled and could take 245+.
