Default 35x12.5 on a leveled 2wd?

Has anyone gotten 35s on 18s to fit on a 2.5" leveled 2wd? I'm thinking that I want 35s but I'm not sure if they'll fit or how much rubbing there will be

you should be fine @ +14 with some slight trimming. I like those wheels but, they will be a bitch to clean brake dust off of...

2-1/2" Daystar...put over 80K miles on this truck after leveling with no problems.

These wheels were 17x9 with a 0 degree offset or 5 inches of backspacing. I had to trim and beat on the front wheelwell liners to get them to fit. They still rubbed a little when backing up and turning. Tires were 315x70x17 BFG's. This was on a 2-1/2" leveled 4x4. My wheels stuck out 2 inches more then the stockers and this caused the problems in the front. I ended up buying 17x8's with stock 5.5 inch backspacing and eliminated the rubbing. Your 18x9's with the +14 offset will stick out 1-1/2 inches more then stock and you may have some rubbing on your 4x2 truck with 35x12's.
