Narrowest tires while keeping diameter?

I put the rough rider leveling kit on my 04 Avy, and put some 270/70/17s on it. Looks great...
But I've decided I want narrower tires. The narrowest I can get without changing the diameter too much. I've messed around with tire size calculators, but many of the sizes I figured apparently don't exist.
Do any of you have suggestions, or experience with this "modification?"
:help:
 
I personally would not go narrower then stock size since handling, traction and load carrying capacity may suffer. You should remember that you are driving a 6,000 lb. truck and the tires need to be able to carry the load and provide traction.
 
I think a 245 series tire is about the narrowest you can find in about the same diameter.
