    Just placed and order for some icon vector 6 wheels- 17'x 8.5 with 0 offset. Now I need some new rubbers to wrap them in. I live in Canada where we get hit with a fair amount of snow during the winter and require a winter rated all terrain tire.
    I have a 2021 off road oin stock suspension (for now)
    Big fan of the Falken Wildpeak At3w.

    Let me hear what you guys recommend and what size I should choose that ensure I don't rub.

    Is money an issue? If so, get the falkens off the discount tire direct flash sale, if not get duratracs or coopers imo.

    You getting after market UCAs? If not, get 265/70/17. You're jumping from 16 in rims to 17 & a wider rim size. If you get 285s, you will rub a lot & even with the 265's & no lift, you will rub & have to remove the front mudflaps. Post some pics once you get them mounted!

    Good options there. Loved my cooper at3’s, trying out the falkens now because they had a better look to me. No complaints yet, but haven’t had a chance to test them in the snow yet. I’ve heard good things. :fingerscrossed:

    I love the look and what I've heard performance-wise of the STTs just can't justify an E rated tire on stock setup. Falken's I've heard are either terrible quality or people love them, hit or miss. I ran Nitto Ridge Grappler's SL rated last winter and they were fantastic. KO2s but I think they are over priced and wasn't a fan in NJ winters or how they constantly needed rebalanced. Lots of options out there.

    Either Trojans or Durex are good rubbers.

    I only know my size. Can't make a recommendation for your size.
