Default New Tires Needed

I am looking for new tires for my truck, I dont know jack about tire sizing. I hear that BFG A/T are a good tire for my needs. Although I would like to fill out my wheel wells alittle, as well as gain more clearance.

I am sure my 4x4 dodge can handle a 35" tire?

I can't find them listed as 35" anywhere, what does the size equate to?

Also I dont have the money or the need to ditch the stock rims, they are 16".

So basiclly what is a good tire along the BFG A/T line that works out to 16" wheels, and 35" overall dia? I drive alot of country and dirt roads, work in muddy rock quarries, and like to play in the snow. Also not needed is a $300.00+ per tire cost.

315/75R16 is as close to a 35 x 12.5 R16 as you'll find.
You'll clear them if you have a 2" leveling kit in the front.
Hopefully you have the stock alloy wheels, as they're an inch wider than the steel stockers.

Might rub the lower control arm just a little because of the backspacing.
