Default wheel weight

hey i have the 2.5 teraflex bb and want to run some 35's. If i go with 17x9 in steelies with 5 in of bs will i be able to run 35x12.5s? from what i gathered around the forum it should be fine but im new to this so i want to get it right the first time.

Also, i know the steel rims are heavier and with 35s the entire combo will be much heavier but i want to know if this will affect performance on and off road. I know it probably will but i just want to hear some input from more experienced people. thanks

You should be "OK" with e 4.10's...you will notice a bit of performance loss, but should be able to live with it. I think the overall size/width of the tire is much more detrimental than the few extra pounds you will be adding.
