I still don't quite get why the larger increase in the front, over that in the rear, appears to be preferred? I know what increasing track width does, apart from the aesthetics, but why not increase the rear the same as the front?

Wheels will move a bit in and up but it is much more straight than up.
The reason folks go with larger spacer front than rear is PURELY cosmetic. Most want the arched to appear nicely filled out from the top or rear and from the factory the front is tucked in more.
