Factory SaSquatch (Wildtrack) wheels are :
17x 8.5
+30mm offset
The 25's are VERY close to the factory. I believe it will push the tire out less than 1/4inch.
I'm eyeballing the exact same Icon wheel also, in titanium.
The 0 offset would push the tire out nearly an 1 1/4 inches. I do not want that much poke, others do. The Squatch has those monster flares already to cover the 35's.
Also, for what its worth, why go to a 35X12.5 tire?
That's what the WT has already, in metric form. If you're looking at Mud terrains, a quick search shows various MT's are cheaper in the 315 size vs the 35X12.5

Thanks for your opinions. I value them.Long on opinions, short on facts, lol!
I really like the tread pattern on the Goodyear's that will come on it. Decent amount of siping for water evacuation and getting a bite on ice etc but still luggy enough for offroad, snow, slush etc. Not quite as aggressive as true mud terrains, which none of those will have the 3PMSF.
The 3PMSF symbol ..... I like the idea of it, but according to tirerack, in their winter testing they've had tires without it outperform tires that had it. So I'm not sure how much weight I'd put on having it. This is where experience comes in.
I'm looking really hard at the Toyo OC AT3's also. I see a LOT of rigs with their tires on them at work and online they have an excellent reputation. The guys at work that I've talked to really liked them also.
35's vs 315's -
Some of the 315's will have a C rating.
Factory is load range C tires. SOME hard-core offroaders swear by load range E for durability, others say there's no difference durability-wise.
Most agree the C's will have a more compliant ride.
You will have to do some homework to find out what pressures to run on E rated tires.
I personally cannot see any benefit for the 35's , they cost more for the same amount of tire in 315/70-17
For my base Base, I'm looking hard at 285/75-17 Toyo Open Country AT3's ....
33.9 X 11.3 ... load range C
3PMSF rated.
