I ran this through one of the many tire size calculators while shopping
for wheels and I thought this would save some time for others...

848 3.0%
225/35-17 3.1in 11.6in 23.2in 72.9in
869 0.6%
I ran these through the Tire Rack size search and each of these sizes is
available in at least one tire.
Enjoy!
