However, 0.5" on a 35" tire with a 15" wheel won't matter.

Speak with the manager of the shop, not the desk clerk.

Besides, you want a narrower wheel for offroading when you air down to 10-12 psi.

Thanks for the info! I know they would fit, read about it all the time on the forum but it's the shops that don't want to do it One even recommended me to go with a 33x10.5 but with the RC 3.25 lift I think the stance wouldn't look right. Plus they want more for them then the 35x12.50 I was originally quoted. They said it's dangerous for employee sake.(?) I guess they don't want my money.
Anyway I just found an off road shop I didn't knew existed before a few towns away so I'm gonna give them a call and see what deal they can give me. Hopefully I'll finally get to post some pics after getting the lift and tires done.

Reworked everything this morning for verification on measurements. They are pretty close, but it seems more on the 400 side. This is also to the bearing load, not the wheel studs. Trying to figure out the studs would be a little bit extreme for stuff around my house.
