C32 AMG,
Front vs. Rear Wheel/Tire sizes
I have a question for those of you who are more experienced with these wheel/tire issues. I have a C32 which I love and just had to purchase 2 new rear tires for. Front wheels are 17X7.5, Rear wheels are 17x8.5 (both stock).
My question is... do the benefits of having two different wheel/tire sizes between the front and the rear really outweigh the convenience of having four wheels/tires of the same size and having the ability to rotate them between all four positions?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The only reason you have 8.5 rims ( with 245 tires ) on the rear is to give you a little more traction.
Nice to have on a C 32.
Not being able to rotate sucks, but is just a fact of life.
