Not sure how tall you can get on that thin of a wheel. But it's definitely skinny.

I'm running 255/80 17s on factory wheels. Haven't seen much skinnier around here.
I have 235/80-17 General all terrains on stock wheels. Love it.

Definitely skinnier. But also proves my point. The tallest aspect ratio I know to be available is 80%. By going skinnier you are also giving up height so some decisions are needed.

You have 235/85-17 on 17x8 wheels? I know most tire manufacturers that I’ve seen don’t recommend anything wider then a 7 inch wheel with a 235/85.

A few manufacturers make a 35x10.5r17 and 255/80-17, and 255/85-16 are 33x10. My 7.50-16 BFGS measure 32 tall and 8 wide.

I like a man who knows his options.

Forgot about the 85-16s, probably because they're no taller than my 80-17s and would've required new wheels. The extra half in of sidewall wasn't worth the price of admission to me.

And I was unaware of the 35 x 10.5 x 17 options because, well frankly 35s don't interest me. Currently.
