I parked beside a Rubicon over the weekend with 35's. I am running 285/70-17 tires which an online caculator shows should be 32.7" by 11.2" wide, but my measurements are closer to just over 32" high. Although they where bigger, I just didn't see 2.3 to 3 inches different in height eyeballing them. Are 35's actually 35 inches?

You must measure as it is important to get the height with weight on them. For example my 37x12.50x17 MTR measured 36.8 with no weight and 36.3 on the JK with normal weight.

And yes size varies by manufacturer.

My BFG A/T KOs at 315/70/17 are 34.4"

Tires are like shoes... Every company's different. A 9.5 in Nike could be a 10 in Adidas....

Not to mention you are looking at diameter instead of radius. The height difference between a 32" and 35" tire would only be 1.5".

No, that would be the additional height on each side of the axle and the additional clearance you got. The full difference in height would be 3" and seen when side to side comparison

My Nitto Trail Grapplers measure just over 34". I think I put 34.25 in my Flashpaq to fix the speedo.

My Nitto Mud Grapplers are just a little under 34". I believe the Pitbull brand tires run a true 35" (or maybe 35.5", I can't remember for sure, based off the Internet).

Wheel width will play an additional role. The wider the width, the less tire height you will have.
