Think its because of the offset of the wheels

fyi, here's a nice guide for fitment. offset talks about how far in or out the wheels sits. Basically how far the mounting face of the wheel is away from the center of the wheel.

Like everyone said...it's because some wheels may not come with the right offsets to make the car look tight for your personal preference or their can be fitment issues. Brabus is notorious for this problem because they are lazy and want you to run the same wheels for everything and just tell you to use their spacers to adjust.

Don't sweat the mam and 10"
