Is there any pro's or con's to running the 3 1/2" wheel vs the 4" wheel?

I need to order a cpl new wheels to complete the front suspension upgrade and not really sure how much of a difference the 1/2" will make..

3.5" will be lighter than a 4. You will also have less tire in the ground so less rolling resistance.
