BIGGEST tire for OEM wheels
I got the 33X12.5 - 17 Procomp tires, mounted on OEM Wheels.
Can the 35 X 12.5 -17 be mounted on the OEM Wheels?

Any 12.5" tire should not be mounted on a factory 7" wheel. The factory wheels are too narrow and will cause problems. You will be putting way more stress on the bead area. This may cause problems with blowouts down the road. Also remember that a 7" wide wheel is not going to be in the manufacturers recommended wheels. For a 12.5" wide tire typcially you're going to be looking at an 8"-10" wheel. If you do run 7" wheels and you come in for a treadwear warranty claim they can show you the door. After buying $500-$700 worth of tires I'd hate to have them tell me you're sol because I didn't run the right wheel size.
