Overall tire diameter and ride height?

I did a search but didn't come up with the results I was looking for. I'm curious as to what overall tire diameter others are running and at what ride height. I am currently setting up my truck's ride height with some spare tires I have. They are 235/65/17 which is right about 30" diameter. I don't think they're going to work without some serious modifications.

Is anyone else running anything similar? Got any pictures?

The original concept for running oversize rims and lower profile tires was so that you could have the vehicle as low as possible and not have the chassis below the scrub line.
