I thought this started because the body design was originally for a vehicle
with smaller rims/wheels.  A full size would probably fit in my 5000-bodied
'91 200q; but the 7.5" wide rim would cause it to stick up too high...
also, these fancy alloy wheels/tires would require a higher base price if you
bought 5 rather than 4 plus a cheapo donut spare.
