Will do, Tues or Weds next week. It's not going to be noticeable -- the fronts are +20mm over stock, so on the outside +10mm. The backs are +30mm, so the outside is +15mm. No spacers needed.

I hope the extra width will increase the contact patch enough to make up some for going to all-seasons versus a stickier summer compound. But even if it didn't, I'd want A/S because of the coastal rains we get and, I like to extend the driving season into the cold weather as much as possible. But I'm under no pretensions about snow and ice driving -- wider rubber is the opposite of what you want (which is a narrower/longer contact patch).
