Default Im confused about tires

Are there any 35s that will fit on a 7" wide wheel?

HMMMM, Sure? You can put any width tire on any width rim, might make the tread bow funny though. Seriously though for a 7" rim you don't want to go more than say 10" in tread width, maybe a 35 x 10.5 is available, though its going to look awful funny, really tall and narrow. Do yourself a favor and buck up for some aftermarket rims, like 10" wide, then you can run some nice 35's or get some military 36's for cheap. Last set I bought for a single were nice Mickey Thompson's off road 8 holes, paid 200 for all 4 with 33 12.5's on them that were almost new. You just have to put in the time on CL and not get discouraged, and then SQUEEZE the seller. Determine what you want/will spend and stick them with it, worst case you walk away. Plenty of wheel deals out there...
