It's not the width of the FIA wheels that is one inch less, it's the width of the 289 FIA style body of the car that is 1" less. If I'm thinking about it correctly that means that each wheel needs an extra half inch of back spacing, thus an extra half inch of metal taken off of the back of the wheel.
