2017 - Wheel/Tire Size Help?

Hey All, I know this has probably been hashed out numerous times in previous posts and I will certainly research further, but figured I'd also ask specifically. I am finally pulling the trigger on A/T wheels/tires for my 2017 FXT and was wondering what you all are safely running on stock suspension without having any clearance/rubbing issues. I plan on 17" LP Adventure LP-1 wheels and Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails.

Wondering exactly which size LP-1 wheels and which size tires anyone else here is successfully running without issue. Thanks so much!

remember, the more you change wheel offset away from OEM 48mm the more you will change the steering feel in situations where the two front wheels are experiencing different traction from each other (like wet spots, railroad tracks, etc. etc.) I don't know the offset spec of your proposed wheel, but it should be easy to find. Small changes in offset are supposedly tolerable, but the further you go away from stock the more likely you are to have a car which lunges unpredictably to the side once in a while.

Great, thanks. I was also trying to assess which LP-1 wheel size is best. I think the closest offset the wheel comes in is 35mm.

Already narrowing it down a bit, seems like closest to stock would be the wheels below and tire size 225/65/17. Can anyone confirm if they are running 225/65/17 on stock 2017 FXT suspension with any clearance issues?

There is a perfect thread (but long) about "proven wheel/tire setups" that may be able to help you.
