Does the 05 Saleen really have 28 inch rear tires

[MustangLife]

I might be wrong but the tire calculator I have says that the 275/40/r20 tires on the rear of the saleen are 28.66 inches and the front are 275/30/r20 which equals too 27.58 inches. Now to me that seems like a really big tires since the 94-04 mustangs had 26 inch tires. I've never seen one in person, so is my tire calculator correct.

Thanks
