Default Ordered wrong size tires, now what?

Here's my dilemma. I have a stock 2008 f150 with a 2 inch leveling kit. I meant to order 33s, but 35s showed up at my door. Question is, what do I need to do to make these fit? Will they look too big? The size is 35x12.50 r18. Thanks in advance.

Is your truck 4x4?

They will fit with some trimming. I'd say thats a pretty lucky mix up though.

you may have to go up another inch on your front level kit. I have 35's with a 3" lift on front.

If they won't fit, consider buying a spindle kit. They keep the geometry of the front CV axle straight and usually are much beefier than stock. It should raise the front up 2 1/2- 3 inches. Then if you don't want it to squat, buy slightly bigger blocks for the rear.
