That's too much for the plastic, and it will leave a horrendous looking cut.. Just use a utility knife with a fresh blade to trim the front valance at the wheel wells, and maybe your factory fender flares where they wrap into the wheel well..
If you get any slight rubbing at full lock due to your wheel offset on your inner fender liners, you can rework the plastic a bit with a heat gun and push it back in towards the frame and body mount..
A 2.5 level will definitely fit 35's.. If your offset is correct, you should get no rubbing..

You can use a 35x12.50 with a 2.5" level, you just can't use those wheels to do it. A factory wheel works with 35s bc the offset is +44, your wheels are maybe +0 to +18, something like that I think. I don't think you could do enough trimming to make those wheels work with 35s
