I buy the car as new with 235/55/R18. Summer tires.
Winter tires come with different rims and 225/55 R 18.
Limited Nov 2021

I plan on running a 225/65/17, I wouldn't go much taller or wider. That tire is an inch taller over stock, the rear wheels being set forward closer to the body is what concerns me
I just had 235/55 R 18’s with a 20” rim put on my 2018 compass latitude. Look and feel great
 
Ok I’m seeing so many answers some In other countries which prolly sit differently. US 2020 compass trail hawk no lift.. going from stock 215/65R17… to the 235/60R17… safe bet.. they fit nicely..I seen saying he had 235 and got 225 and if he gets more tires he would go back to the 235. This sound correct. I can safely order 235/69R17???
 
After a year, I couldn't take the skinny OEM tires any longer on my '22 TH. After much research, I found these Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Falken&tireModel=WildPeak+A/T+Trail&partnum=36HR7WPATT&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Jeep&autoYear=2022&autoModel=Compass 4X4&autoModClar=Trailhawk
The tread is 1.4" wider and the section width is 1" wider. Diameter is only .1" greater. No lift or spacers and after 1,000 miles, no rubbing or other issues. Wish I'd made the switch sooner!

Okay folks, I just got a new whells set and mounted them on the car.
The whells fited very well and no rubbing.
I tested in bumps and I have made a compression of the suspention to its limit.
There is about 20 mm space in the critical points in between front fender on the right whell and the same space in between the tire and the rear shock absorber.
Front wheels have more than enought space even at full turn.
See on the pictures.

Important notice here is that I mounted the tires on 7.5J rims with 33 offset. The original rims have 40 offset.
These 0.7 mm offest compensate the clearance in between the tire and right shock absorber. I assume with 40 offset rims and 225/65/17 tires they will rub in the rear shock absorber.

Suspention compresed to its maximum. The oposite whell losse the ground.

Thanks for your advices. I am happy with the new tire set and I am going to test them in the mountain.

Cheers

I'd be careful at highway speeds. Remember, centrifugal force will cause your tire diameter to grow slightly.
 
Here are my 225/75r16 Ironman all country terrain tires (over 29" in diameter). No rubbing at all after driving for 3 days on all types of roads and bumps. The tires lifted my compass almost an entire inch. There is a good inch and a half between the tire and closest part that would rub.
Hey Nick! I know it's an old post but any update on those tires and is yours a trailhawk or standard Compass? Thanks!
