With the right tire and rim combo will be the same size as 35x12.5R15?

With the right tire and rim combo will be the same size as 35x12.5R15. I have a 1995 ford f150 xl long bed 4.9l six

I like the size of that tire but they are to exspensive, i want to know if for exsample i put R17s on with a decent road tier it will give me the same clearence as the big 35.

You can get a road tire and have the same clearance. The 305 will be the same height as the 35 and you'll get the same clearance
