Unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to fit 35x12.5 with any negative offset, let alone having 22x10 wheels, on only a leveling kit. I don't even think 0 offset will fit. You will probably still rub on +18 offset.
Now I believe our trucks are identical except the '14s had a change to a bolt on their lower control arm? I'm guessing but they are the same regardless.
I'm on 5100s maxed out and my 295/60r20 measuring 34.2"x11.8" didn't fit. I had to trim the lower valence (no big deal) and cut about a half inch to an inch into the body under the doors (as you've seen on my other post in the tire/wheel thread). Now they JUST fit with no rubbing at all.
You are going to have the same truck as me except for ~1" taller tires and ~1" wider tires, and 1" wider rims. Negative offset and 0 offset are NOT fitting if you don't want to cut into metal. I don't know if you'll run into problems with the UCA either on a negative offset/0 offset.
Pics of my truck on my setup if you aren't dead set on 35s, I couldn't be happier.
Also I don't know if you want fender flares, but keep in mind I have flares on this extending 1.5" out and my tires still throw crap on the side of my truck. Last pic was before I put the new flares on.

I'm not dead set in 35s I just want the biggest tires u can fit.i seen another truck in those forum with a 2" lift in the front and 3" block in the rear running 35x12.50 tires and I liked how it looked that's what got me wanting the 35s.

My wheels are +1 offset, and they are 20x9s. You can 100% run 35s on just a leveling kit but I don't know what offset you'd need. I really don't know what the difference is when you go up to 10 wides (compared to 9) but I would guess around +20. These are the biggest I could run on my offset, and they're big enough because I overheard some guy walking into a restaurant making fun of my truck for having "large tires and no suspension" lol

I don't see lip size for the wheels you're looking at, but looking at the wheels I bought, lip size stayed the same for varying offsets.

Also I noticed the most positive offset the hostiles come in is -25. I don't think your setup is going to work without a suspension lift!!

Heres a video someone posted on my build thread when I was worried I wouldn't be able to fit mine.
He's running 35x12.5 on 20x10 -19 wheels. But he isn't on a bilstein setup. He's running something a little different you'll see in the video, and got about 3" of lift in the front. He had a to do a lottt of cutting and even if you could get your tires to clear the fenders, you *might* run into problems with rubbing against your upper control arm, but someone else will have to correct me on that if I'm wrong. Even with a 33" I think it's still taller than the UCA and on a 12.5 wide tire it might be really close.

When I was looking at wheels a lot of shops said a 20x10 would not fit with a 33 in tire. It does with no rubbing, it may take a little trimming but nothing to major. If you would like I can post some pictures of the trimming on my truck tomorrow. You should pick the wheel you like best and find a tire in a size that fits. With a 22x10 wheel with a -19 to -25 offset you should be able to fit a 305/45r22 or 33x12.5r22 with only a leveling kit.
