35x12.50? Most manufacturers suggest a minimum of 8.5" wheels for 12.5" wide tires. Yes, you could probably get them mounted, but I sure wouldn't do it.

Nope. I've seen people do it on 7.5" wheels but, even that is pushing it. The recommended is 8.5-10, where 8 is the absolute safe minimum.

the tire will wear horribly unless you lower the pressure, it will probably look really stupid on those rims,the tires will pop inside of the fender instead of out, they will rub really bad on your radius arms, what kind of lift are you going to get or have? rims are not that expensive, i got really nice rims from discount for 80 dollars a piece. save up for some 15x10's to mount those 35's on, it will look and perform much better

Trying to mount that wide of tire on a 7 inch wide rim will probably result in breaking the bead. Wont be able to haul any weight or take much for bumps. I wouldn't put them on anything narrower than 10 inchers
