is this a good idea?

Um planning on running a 35x12.50 tire and would like to keep the stock 15" steelys. If it matters the tire will prob be a bfg all terrain. Do I have to worry about the tire popping its bead more due to the larger sidewall?

No, the narrower rim will work to keep it from popping a bead. You will have to run lower air pressure on the road to get even tread wear when using that narrow of a wheel. You're also gonna have clearance issues between the tires and spring buckets, and tires and lower control arms when turning. Consider some wheel spacers.

Or get the right rims with proper offset.
