Is anyone running 15x7 wheels with a 35"? Has anyone rolled a tire bead off?

Ummm......:6: I think my Factory Bronco wheels are 15x7.5 & I have no problem with 12.50's..
I'm assuming you ment to say anyone running a 12.50 wide tire on a 7" wide rim..:shrug:
I was running a 35x10.50x15 on my Sammies stock wheels & those are only 5" wide.. & I know of many that do it with no problems.
& as a Bonus a narrower rim holds the tire on better at lower Pressures.
On my Sammy when I went from the 5" rim to the 8" rim with the same 10.50 tires.
I instantly noticed how the tire got fatter as the rim got wider, Leading me to believe that the tire must of been somewhat taller on the narrower rim because the tire had no where to go but up...

But then again your sammy is pretty light. Toyotas, rangers running 15x7 perhaps, but Broncos :shrug: it might be too much for the bead to hang on.

Spare wheels for spare tires, but problem solved.
