Upstate: What is the width of your front and rear wheels? I checked out the tires I ordered and for my rear 10.5's, I am going with 285/30's (26.73" tall) while for the front 9's, I am going with 245/35's (26.75" tall). I think the negligible 0.02" different in height from front to back should be okay and not impact AWD but if you know something I don't, I'd love to get your thoughts. If you are running the same width wheels though, other than traction, are there any other benefits to running the wider tires?

I use M5 wheels - 9" front and 10" rear. 295 tire looks perfect on a 10" wheel. I don't like a stretched look at all. 245 on a 9" wheel is less than optimal. M5's come with a 265 on that wheel. I would think that 285 on a 10.5" wheel will also look a touch stretched for my taste. I find that the extra width on the tire provides the obvious benefit of extra grip when pushed, but it also makes the ride a little smoother in every day situations - you float over smaller road imperfection and holes (this is compared to stock sizes, not so much between 245 and 255, that would be a negligible difference). The extra tire width also gives a bit of protection to your wheel. And a 295 tire in the rear is sexy as hell.
