The AWD version is only one inch taller than a regular RT. However, due to the AWD many of the parts are different, unique and a PIA which is why I didn't buy it. Instead I bought an RT, and have 2 sets of wheels. I used the orig set with GY Ultragrip Winter tires which transform it into a serious winter performer despite the 2 wd. I also have a set of police wheels with some nice continentals for the rest of the year. Great package, but EATS front end parts for lunch...
