Also being smaller actually saves a lot of weight and you have a larger selection of less expensive tires. Not to mention a little closer gearing with the smaller diameter.

Smaller diameter rim but with a thicker sidewall tire, overall diameter is the same, gearing still ends up the same.

275/35/19 (sport pkg rears) and 245/45/18 (base rears) both are 26.6" diameter.
