Pretty sure it's a stability thing...wider trackwidth on the front end with the extra out to the right will help keep the car from tripping over the RF and will help keep the LR from lifting off the ground....Winged cars are buried over on the LR and trying to pull the RF off the ground so the close it is to the chassis the less likely it is to unload.
