Maximum Tyre Size

I'm looking to replace the DNA Moto-Raptor on my back rim with something
a bit less prone to punctures and a bit better off road. The Maxxis High
Roller looks pretty good, but at 2.5 width I'm not sure if it's suitable
for my Mavic M117 rims, as they seem pretty thin (would this lead to
pinch punctures ?).

Anyone got any experience with the M117 wheels and can offer advice as
to how wide a tyre I can go up to ?
