Default BFG 315/70/17 to Pro Comp 35x12.5x17 on stock rim?

Tire sizes confuse the hell out of me. I am currently running BFG A/T 315/70/17 on stock 17" rim with a 2.5" leveling kit. I want to go with Pro Comp Xtreme A/T tires this go around and the size is different as it's a 35x12.5x17. Is that size equivalent to the BFG A/T I am running? Thanks!

35/ 12.5/17 means 35"overall diameter, 12.5" wide and fits a 17" wheel.

315/70/17 means the tire is 315mm (31.5 cm) wide, the side wall is 70% of the width and it fits a 17 inch wheel.

31.5cms is 12.5 inchs so they must be 12.5" wide.
(315's are close enough to be called a 35/12.50.)

Just make sure the sidewalls (not the outside tread patterns)are same length and can match up with your rim. Im not to smart on them but hey im sure theres someone with further knowledge or a diagram.
good luck

Thanks for the info - Sizing looks really close to what I run now and I've seen some threads where guys are running them on stock rims. Will call around to some shops today for pricing and see who will mount them.

Talked to my local shop today and he confirmed they will fit. Went with 35x12.5x17 Pro Comp Xtreme A/T. Hope to have em friday and be rid of these BFGs.

35s will definitely fit with a 2.5" leveling kit!
