How is it better? Putting more mass where weight is most critical doesn't seem like an improvement. I noticed the F80 runs a stagger with the tire diameter and I always thought that was so strange. I'd definitely move to an even setup with aftermarket wheels.
The only thing I notice with the cars you mentioned is it's only possible to find 3xx width tires with 19" or bigger wheels, which isn't a need for the front.
