with that wide of a tire you will need a good backspaced rim so it dont rub on you suspension and steering components.id just ask who you are buying them from what they would reccomend for your application.theres no doubt they are gonna stick out alot,but you dont want too far out.for that size of tire i honestly cant say what you would need.just give a call not national tire and wheel or rustys off-road and ask them what they would run.

Well what a coincidence - Just this week after some runaround - I finally ordered some new wheels for my new 33x12.5 MT/Rs. So Jp Mag endorses a 3.5" backspacing/offset for a 12.5" wide tire on a TJ, and I know you say you are on the 35s...
... I settled on 3 5/16" offset of Mickey Thompson simulated lock wheels 15x8s ... Quadratec had the best price by $29. If you wanna look at backspacing for wheels online, most sites you must click the "buy" button for any wheel and then view the bolt pattern and backspacing. I really had my heart set on some black and chrome one piece aluminum wheels from wheelpros.com ... but nothing lower than 4.0" backspacing!
Incidentally, I didn't see any smaller backspacing for the MT wheels ... Good luck in your search!

I HOPE YOU ARE NOT PLANNING TO DRIVE THIS ON THE PAVEMENT, AS THE MICKEY THOMPSON TIRES ARE SO SOFT AND WILL LAST 20K MILES.
