That's why I said wheel size (tyre + rim) instead of tyre.

People clearly do fit larger tyres and rims to fill out the wheel arch better. My point is that the extra starting height of the AWD models makes that tougher. Not to mention I never heard anyone ever say they were glad to have the extra ride height.
