I'm sitting on 205/50/17 Toyo Snowprox S950 (stock tire size) on the stock rims. It got me through about a foot of snow without getting stuck. Was plowing like crazy though (lowered 2").

Same problem with brake clearance on the svtf. I'm using the stock 17" rims with stock size 215/45/17 Hankook ice bears...excellent winter rubber ;) .
