17" front and 18" rear ?

Whats the point of having 17" front rims and 18" rear rims?
I know that Corvette and Lotus are delivered with those sizes.
Anyone who knows the answer?

More meat up front, for bumps so your rims wont get damaged.
the fronts at least

The NSX has a 1" smaller front as well - the main reason being for packaging purposes - to allow more space in the footwells and for a lower hoodline.

In any case, you'd just have to maintain tire diameter.
