Staggered 19" front + 20" rear THREAD

[JD1100]

Can some one please explain to me why running a 19" rim in the front is better than a 20"

I see the CS and GTS both did this as well as the new M4. Many cars run the staggered rim setup but I cant seem to figure out why having a smaller rim in the front is better.

I googled it and the only explanation I could find was that the 20" rear offered more tread for traction vs a 19". but that has nothing to do with the front rim

The explanations online make no sense.

Is this for aesthetic reasons only ?

I really like that color for the wheels. I am considering getting gold with my Tanzanite Blue M4. with 20" Rear and 19" front.

The only pic I have right now, will take some more in the future. Would think these wheels would like great with the Tanzanite Blue, but they will stand out unlike a black or shadow wheel. I was looking online to see what the Java Green would look like with the gold wheels but didn't find any, super happy with the result.

Not sure about this either, like the look of it personally. Apparently it's better for the track but I don't know why.
