Default is this the right tire size?

i am looking to put some 35's onto stock rims - is this the sieze of tire i need? 35x12.50R15, BFGoodrichMud-Terrain T/A KM2
also would there be any other options for seizes within the realm of 35 inch tires...hope that question makes sense.

No. If you have stock Rubi rims they are 17" rims not 15".

Not an issue of better/worse, just different sizes. Both are essentially a 35x12.5R17. The 315s are generally slightly shorter.

Since the KM2 doesn't come in a 315/70/17,your only choice is the 35x12.5x17.
