Yeah, that was a great explanation. I'm running that same set up (245x30x20x9.5 front and 285x25x20x10.5 in the rear). I rub a little. AWD lowered about 2-3 inches with very conservative offsets at +38 in the front and +45 in the rear. I'm looking for new tires right now and thinking of running a 295x25x20 in the back because the Continential tires I want don't make a 285x25x20. I believe the 295's are still reasonably within spec.

if you are afraid, you can always go with 255/30/20 up front to match. but looking at your setup, i guess you are rubbing in the front? if so, 255 probably will rub more

^^ No rubbies in the front. I'm not that low. I still have a little gap between the wheel and fender. Remember, I'm AWD, so I had a huge gap to begin with.. (that's what she said). Oh, Continental Extreme Contact DW don't make a 255,

I just got my new RW-3 and man are these things nice and for the prize forget about it!!!! Now i'm stuck on what tires to run my specs are 8.5/20+35 in the front and 10/20+ 43 in the rear. All over the forum i see a lot of guys running 245/30 and 285/25 but from the pictures i've seen they seem to thin. Can someone post up some pictures of different specs and angles to show the differences in tires??

P.S.
I'm at work so dont have the time to browse to every page on the forum at the moment!! LOL
