I'm pretty sure it's the tire size. m5 fenders are a little bit wider so 255 wouldn't rub.

Its because your passenger is plumpy, chunky, that girls huge. (quoted from "Moto Moto").

They naturally sit lower on the passenger side to compensate for the weight of the driver which I believe is assumed at 200lbs.
