Just an update on this setup. The front fitment using a 15 mm spacer is perfect. The rear fitment appears to be the same as OEM. The blizzaks perform quite well, particularly in terms of stopping capability. So far I have had no problem climbing fairly steep hills covered with packed snow/ice. Of course the torque can easily overwhelm the rear tires on any surface, including dry asphault, so caution is always warranted.
