Default Question about Rim size

Hi Guys, I plan to change my stock tire soon. Plan to change Pro Comp 35" tires for reducing budget, but they only have rim size of 15". If I do 80% on road and 20% crawling rocks, does it matter?
Any suggestions are welcome!

Personally I feel 35's on a 15" wheel feel a little spongy, especially on a rig that spends most of its life on road.

That being said I see this combo being run all the time...it's definitely budget friendly!

I'm running 35's on 15" wheels and have no complaints. There are definitely less expensive and feel fine at highway speed. Just do your research with 15" wheels and realize many end up rubbing slightly. Search the forum, the answers are there.

Gdyr mtr's 35 on 15" black rocks and love it! Tires and wheels cost less than just 17" 33's and the ride is a little softer.
