Sept 2019 update:
If youre reading this and want to get offroad/AT tires consider if you will be getting a lift in the future as it will probably make you want to get a different tire size than mentioned here. Almost every post here has been done with stock height but plugging this here for those interested.
Possible lift kit!
The fun starts on page 4* (page 4 now since the new forum update) of the linked thread.

Notice: It has come to my attention that 2019+ now have tpms sensors in the wheel itself like many traditional cars. Later on in this thread I mention our cars (mine specifically is 2016) having a rotational tpms setup which is not attached to the wheel thus allowing us to swap wheels without needing to worry about the sensors. This looks to have changed for 2019+ model years so keep that in mind when getting new wheels for the car.

So a couple of days ago I noticed my oem tires started to crack which leaves me with great doubt on ever rebuying yokohamas ever again especially since I am seeing them for 200+ ..lol On the bright side this finally let me put my plans that I have been toying around with for the last 7 months into action. I was always looking for something more usable and offroad-y than the oem tires (idk why I have this obsession with making the cx3 into an offroader to be honest). I borrowed a friend's 15inch junk wheel he had lying around and it was too tight of a fit, so to answer the question that I have never found an answer to here lol dont go with 15s. Naturally 16 was the next best option, I also went with a higher than stock (for the 16 oem set) sidewall and a slightly lower offset and with these new ko2 tires it clears everything within half of an inch+.
Tire: BFGoodrich ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2 - SIZE: LT215/65R16
Wheel: MSW TYPE 25 - matte gray- 16x7 - offset:45
Currently only have one wheel and just ordered the other 3 mainly because I was unsure if it was going to rub and if it did come to a situation where it did, I could have used this as a spare for the rear but thankfully everything worked
*excuse the poor picture quality as I was in the middle of landscaping work in the backyard and dropped everything just to test fit it. Will definitly update with proper pictures once the rest come in.
