Question about wider rear tires (archive)

Hey guys. I have a question. What is the benefit of having wider tires in the rear? I want to get the Breyton Emotion 20inch rims but should I get the optional wider tires for the rear? Hmmm...does it look better? I assume the car will handle better (in dry conditions) but what about in the snow? Having too wide of a tire should affect the driving conditions (negatively) in snowy condition right? Do you think it's worth the few extra $$$? Thanks in advance.
