1/12 Tamiya Enzo with wrong wheels/tires size

If this matter was approached before sorry.
Few years ago I got a 1/12 Tamiya Enzo, the already built model. I was never worried about how accuracy the model was, even when I got the kit, which I’m building slowly I never asked myself if all were right.
Recently received in a trade the 1/12 diecast Kyosho Enzo, and immediately I discovered that the tires were completely different comparing with the Tamiya’s.

I made a logical supposition, the Kyosho is wrong, but isn’t, Tamiya’s …and very wrong in my understanding.
I looked for other versions that could have the original Ferrari wheels and other tires but the matter here is that the tires are wrong too.

The Enzo has 245/35/19 front and 345/35/19 rear, in terms of the 1/12 scale means that the rear tire should be 28mm width and 60mm diameter, more or less, Kysosho is perfect. Tamiya is 33 and 57, and the same happens with the front tire. The wheels are 19 (1/12) but of course wider.

Maybe I’m wrong and there are something I’m losing here, please let me know if so.
Thanks for reading

Looking at pictures I would agree with you, but looking at the model I think Tamiya's looks better!
Interesting that you assumed Kyosho got it wrong! Why did you think that?

The real Enzo can look odd from some angles, the gap in the arches looks too large.
You don't get the with the Tamiya kit, the wheels are huge!

Yes Tamiya's looks better althoug inaccurate.
Kyosho is diecast and focusd in collectors, the model is not as good as Tamiya, I would say is far from Tamiya so I guess would be wrong. Anyway Tamiya have a large history of thick mistakes.
