34-35" tires on 17" wheels : Too much sidewall?

Almost time to replace the tires on my 13 Ram 2500, and I want a bigger tire. Thinking about a 34 to 35 inch tire. Would I be OK with that on my stock 17" wheels, or does that mean too tall of a side...

I'd check the weight ratings on the tires your considering and go by that. 17" tires tend to be lower rated so you could get some additional load capacity by jumping up to 18" wheels if you need it, and it may look better.

My stock tires are just over 33" tall on 18" wheels and they're rated at 3640 each.
