I drive my CX-5 AWD deep into the backcountry for hiking/mountain bike trails. Often the roads are really rough and the stocker tires have a hard time getting traction. I'm looking into an A/T tire, something a little wider. 235/65/r17 should wrap right over the stock 17's just fine, but has anyone tried a 245/65/r17? I know the Falken Wildpeaks and Toyo Open Country are rated for 7"-8.5" rims, but I'm wondering about real world applications on our cars. I'd likely do a 20mm spacer kit front and rear as well. If it's too close to call, I might just get some 17x7.5" or 8" wheels to go along. Thoughts?
