ok i dont wanna insult you but you should do more research into what each number on a tire size actually means before ordering tires. the last number after the R stands for the rim size it fits on so those 305/35R24XL tires go on a 24in wheel not a 17in wheel. so there is no way the tire will fit on that wheel to begin with. also by going on BFG's site i find that the largest 17in tire of that kind they make is a 275/40ZR17 which will probably have the same kind of fit as the pic you posted but not as extreme as in that pic. for those wheels i would look for a nice 315/35R17 tire, i have nitto 315/35R17 on my 10.5in wheel and it looks great has a little bulge to it which i like so with an 11in wheel it should be a perfect fit for the look you want
i really like the tread on the tires im looking at but i wanna go as wide as i possibly can. and i also stated in my first post here on mf i never got a chance to get into tuning or gain a lot of knowledge on mechanics or other sh*t. i always wrecked cars learning how to drive rather than turn wrenches in a garage for a car i knew i was gonna push too far anyway. i'd much rather learn how to handle myself in a clusterf*ck first, then gain some knowledge later... thats what you guys are for! lol.

At my auto center, we would absolutely refuse to mount a tire that narrow on a wheel that wide! That's just insanely dangerous and begging for the tire to de-bead and come off the wheel! We'd be sued from here to Kingdom come and rightly so!
