I didn't watch the video yet, but does it explain why you wouldn't also want the larger size in front for the same reason? Or do we just assume that, because less sidewall will naturally impact ride quality, they use the smaller wheel up front as a compromise to minimize that consequence?

As I write this, I wonder if we might see equal diameter wheels on the AWD models. Though, I think Porsche uses the unequal sizes on their both their RWD and AWD 911 models. And come to think of it, IIRC, the AWD G8x mules have been using the same wheels as the RWD cars.
