Default What size tires?

I have a 2012 4x4 EB SCREW with 3.55 rear end, I just bought some Raptor wheels and I am trying to decide what size tire I should go with. I was wanting to get Toyo A/T II 35x12.5 but after some reading I see that people say not to do 35s with 3.55 gears. According to my math (public school) my current 18" set up is about 32" overall diameter and going to a 35x12.50 17 would be about 34 3/4. Do you guys think I should go with a smaller tire like a 285/75? I don't want to eff my truck up but I don't want it to look dumb either. Thanks in advance guys!

How about the size that came on the wheels (315/70/17)? Just put them on mine today and performance hasn't seemed to suffer much, albeit I have 3.73 gears.
