Sorry, I don't know any wheel weights but 35x12.50 tires are around 70-90 lbs.

Default Just upgraded

I just upgraded my 2008 Sahara OEM tires with 18" wheels for 35" Duratracs with 17" wheels. The OEMs were 69 lbs and the new tires/ wheels are about 88 lbs.

A little research here on your part will yield you a bunch of answers. You will find that "typical" here will give you a wide variance, so it may be best to start with what you like, then find out how much it weighs. Most manufacturer sites and online retailers provide statistics like that.

I compared, those are like the heaviest tire out there,, E rated, look killer, but actually belong on 1 ton dually trucks,, I would go MTR K, or a BFG, they're like 20 Lb.s lighter for same size tire
