325/65/18 would essentially be a 34.6/12.8, dont know how much closer to 35/12.5 you can get in metric, what brand tire are you looking to get. toyo, bfg both have mud terrains in 35/12.50/18. dont think bfg makes all terrains in 35/12.50. hope this helps

A 325mm wide tire is too wide for the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels. A 35x12.50 (305/70-18, or 315/70-17) is as wide as you can go and that is pushing it.

Yes, that would be essentially a 33x12.50-18 tire.
