And incredibly relevant to the discussion at hand, there's a 0.4" difference in diameter between 215-225 and then 225-235 RS3's, a difference that will grow as they are crammed onto the same size wheel as tirerack measures on a more appropriately sized 7"-7.5"-8" wheels for each size.

But yes, the gearing difference should have been mentioned in my post and I think was neglected in the article.
