Rear looks lower profile than the front. I guess with staggered diameter wheels you lose the ability to have a fatter rear for comfort (as per recent Porsches) and still keep things ok, visually.

They look pretty good though, OP. Your weather helps. :D
Off the top of my head I don't remember. I can tell you the car now rides infinitely better than the OEM Bridgestone runflats. When my car was delivered I was so disappointed by the ride quality and creaking noises that I was going to sell the car. But when i replaced the tires to the larger tires the ride quality improvement was night and day.
