Default Taller tires for snow ?

So, I'm going back to stock for the winter. No more plowing snow for this winter. Never make that mistake again.

Besides going to stock ride height. I was thinking about going with a taller tire to gain a bit more clearance. Maybe a 65 or even 70 series tire.

I was having problems with wheel well clearance with the stock size tire and being lowered. Will I run into issues with this route, too? I figure the 65 wont be to bad, but I'm not sure if the 70 will. Anyone running or plan on running this setup.

Not having problems with tire clearance as in rubbing the inner fender with the tire. I ment with snow getting compacted and not having enough space for it to get out. I was on s-techs during the winter and the snow would just build up to the point where I would have almost no travel.

I will be at stock ride height when running these tires. I'm just concerned that I'll run into the same problem if I go with a 70 series tire. Sorry if I wasn't clear with that.
