Default Wheels and Tires

Hello I am new to this site and I do appreciate any helpful advice I can get. I have a 2009 Screw XLT 4X4, I wanted to put bigger wheels and tires on so I consulted my local offroading shop nearby. I have read many many postings however I haven't found anything that matches my exact questions. I haven't put them on yet waiting for winter to go away haha....anyways will they fit? I don't mind some trimming a little but at the end of the day....WILL THEY FIT?

1. I purchased Nitto Trail Grapplers 35X12.50X20
2. I also purchased these wheels.
Size: 20" x 9"
Product Description: KMC XD SERIES HOSS CHROME 6x135
Backside Spacing (in): 6.18
Offset: 30mm
3. 2 in HBS Leveling kit

you may have to

1. do some trimming
2. do a 2.5 inch level kit
3. lift the rear an inch or two

im not too solid on what fits and what doesnt on the new trucks

@ THUD8.....I was looking at your pics awesome truck btw.....do you have some sort of fender flare? It looks like you might have a little extra protection on the lip of the fender?

@THud8.......OH ok it looks good anyways!
So when I have them put on do you think the off road shop will know where and how much needs to be trimmed? Do you have any other pics? Also with the 2 inch level and the wheels and tires about how much higher is it than stock?
