V6 + RS = 275s in the back?
The Edmunds comparison between a 1LT+RS and the Genesis coupe ( see thread) says that their test car has 275s in the back.
Every description of the RS package that I've seen so far only says that it gives you 20" wheels. I had been under the impression that they would be the same width as whatever normally came on that trim level -- specifically, that LT+RS cars would get four 20x8" wheels with 245s, while SS+RS cars would get two of those in the front, and two 20x9" wheels with 275s in the back.
Assuming Edmunds has their specs correct, I was wrong, and a LT+RS car gets the same wheel and tire combination as the SS+RS car.
If true, that's pretty exciting. It means that the RS package is more than just an appearance package for the V6 guys!
Can anyone confirm this?

275 rear and 245 front. that seems like alot of rubber for the v6 to spin, but i have seen the reviews and they actually turn over pretty good.

I was thinking the same thing, really don't need that wide of a tire in the rear for the V6. I could have sworn that the RS package for the V6 only included 245's in the rear.

Well, I finally had a chance to check. My local dealership has a yellow V6 RS on the lot, and it has 275s in back. That means RS is (slightly) more than just an appearance package!
