consider adding adjustable upper control arms up front. It helps with wandering caused by a change in the front axle angle (caster).

The distance from the center of the hub to the bottom of the 15" wheel is 1" less than the 17" wheel. The Differential is 1" higher off the ground with the same tires.

35" tires are 17 1/2" from the center to the outside of the tire no matter if the wheel itself is 13" or 22". One just has more rubber than the other.

So the aspect ratio changes from 15" to 17" ?

Yeh, basically the hole is bigger when you are talking a 35" tire. Where things get confusing is when you are talking metric sizes. For instance a 305/70/16 is 32.8" in diameter where as a 305/70/17 is 33.8". In that instance the wheel diameter makes a difference. That is because in the metric sizes they are considering the height of the rubber in comparison to the width of the rubber. Most people end up converting those to inches to better understand how they will fit their vehicle.

Here is a good calculater for that http://www.raingler.com/tech/metricTire.asp
