Offset Rims Very Narrow?

Has anyone gained insight to why the rims have been narrowed for the offset options on the GO5 versus the F15? F15 offsets were 10" front and 11" back (11.5" with the 325's) while the G05 appears to be 9.5" front and 10" back (10.5" with the 315 on 22").

Many have commented that the look of the same 315's is anemic from the rear but I'm also seeing these standard tire/rim compatibility charts on line (all the same regardless of source) that suggest both the offset 275 and 315 are too wide for 9.5" and 10" rims respectively - especially the 315's should be on 11.5" as a minimum but probably 12" rims.

I'm no tire expert but especially on a 35 sidewall profile it doesn't even seem the rears will be making full proper road contact on a rim almost 2.5" narrower than the tread. Perhaps there is an error in the order guide and the rims are wider than shown?
