At first, I was going to go with a true square setup, but the wheels are hub-centric, and the hubs front-to-back are different sizes. So almost immediately I realized that I'd have unique front and rears, even if they were the same size and backspacing.

Once I realized that I opted to go with a concave design on the rears, and since there was the room I also opted to go with a wider wheel to allow for a wider drag tire (like a 345) in the future if I ever wanted it.

The reason I didn't go with wider rear tires, to begin with, is one, I wanted to feel what a square setup did for stability and handling, and two, going above a 315 also meant going down a size in sidewall (from 35 to 30), and I didn't want to do that for my daily driving tires.
