Default How Bad Will They Rub? | 35s

Just got a loaded 2014 FX4 and wanted to know how bad the rub will be with these upgrades. The truck is about 3 weeks old and now its time for a 2inch level and bigger tires, question is, if i put 35s (Have 20s if it matters) will i need to get a lot of trimming or a little, and when will the tires be most likely to rub?

Upgrades:
-2 inch rough country level spacer
-35x12.5x20 toyo open country mt

From what I have seen and heard from other members is that 35's get pretty tight and would require a decent amount of trimming. But to keep the trimming to a minimum, they went with a 35" or just under that was less wide than the 12.5. Ive seen a lot of 285/65r20(34.6x11.2) and 295/65r20(35.1x11.6). Hope this helps.

I'm running a 6 inch zone lift on my 2012 fx4 with a 20x10 wheel with 4.5 backspace -18 offset with 35x12.5/20. They rub at full lock and the suspension moves on the backside of the wheel well. The front plastic had to be trimmed as well but no further issue in the front.

I have 33x2.5R20 MT ATZs and they just cleared the uca on stock wheels but didn't rub and on +12 20x9 wheels and they rub the back side of the fender flares. I have fox 2.5" shocks that are set to about a 2" lift up front so even with going to a 2.5" coil spacer your gonna rub.
