22.5" wheels and tires. If you run a 255/70R22.5 it can be run on a stock height 4x4 truck like I am doing and drops yoru gearing down from 3.73 to 3.19 which means 75 @ 2000 RPMS!

You can put 265s on it with no rubbing issues. It won't look much different but should drop your hwy rpms some.

Actually, the 235/80/17 is slightly taller than the 265/70/17.
Best bet is stepping up to 19.5" if wanting taller but not wider tires.
