Default 35s on 15s or 16s???

Ok so I was gonna buy some 315s/75/16s awhile back but thanks to you guys I found out that its not good to run em on my stock wheel.So Ive held off &started searching craigslist for a good set of used wheels.None to be found,but Ive found a guy with some 15x10s with 50% tires.If I get em Im buying new tires.So my question is...Im running stock 355s till I can afford a gear swap.What will bennifet me more running the 35.1250/15s or the 315/75/16s&why?You guys have been great&I surely appreciate any input or criticism.Thanks in advance!

Tires about just about the same size..... With 3.55 gears... you are gonna notice the loss of low end power. Whats the backspacing on those 15x10s? Also, you may have to modify your tie rod ends for the wheels to clear.

You might also have an issue with the caliper and wheel coming into contact
