Re: 35x12.5 on my stock 15x7 rims???
You came up with a neat millimeters to inches converter of dividing
by 25.4, but it didn't take into consideration the tire series measurement, like the 275/60X15 is three inches less in height than the 31X10.50X15: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp You might familiarize yourself with tire terminology: http://www.1010tires.com/tiretech.asp The series is a percentage of the tire's width it has in height. Then maybe study the design of a rim: http://www.off-road.com/jeep/wheel.htm See that rib on the rim the tire's heel and toe must fit into, now imagine putting an incorrect size tire on that rim.
