First, lets look at what the numbers on the tire size represent.
265/35/22
265 is the width in mm
35 is the sidewall height in a percentage of the width
22 is the wheel size.
Here is the formula: 265/35/22 = roughly 3.65" sidewalls (265mm x 35%/ 25.4 to get inches).
285/35/22 = roughly 3.92"
290/30 = roughly 3.42"
305/30 = roughly 3.6"
Keep in mind this is a rough estimate to finding your sidewall height as final height can vary by manufacturer. Your best bet is to use the information above to get you a few size options, then go to your local tire place to get final specs(height) on the sizes you are looking for.
I have 285/40/22 on a 9.5 inch wheel, and I think my tires are 31.4" overall height. I would have to confirm that though, which I can do on tuesday if you need it.
Hope that helps.
