Default Tire size

Hey yall ive got a 92 dually with 235/75/R16's on it now. Im putting a 4.5 in lift on this thing and i was wondering if anyone knew how tall i could get the tires before they are wide. In other words whats the tallest tire, with a width of 85? Im not planning on towing with this or anything.

Very true, the "85" is the ratio of tread width to sidewall height. I just assumed he wanted an 85 profile tire.
