35x12.50 is a no go with -12 offset. I have a 315/70/17 tire with 4.5" backspace and -12mm offset and had to trim back an inch of metal. Still rubs at full lock. Love the look but wish I went with a positive offset to make it more functional.

I have 6" of lift and had to do about the max possible trimming to fit 35x12" toyos on 0 offset rims. -12 would be a major stretch even with a 6" lift. For 35's on a level stick to +44 to +10 if possible.

I think I've settled on -12 offset Jesters with 295/70/18.
How much will they stick out?

Can't wait to see how my -44 offset works.

Your tires will for sure stick out still just not as much as the -12. I think they'll stick out about 1" - 1.5"
How much do yours stick out? I found a setup with -12 offset and 295/70/18 Terra's for just a little bit more!

Mine stick out about 2-2.5" IMO makes the truck look awesome!

I'm not sure how much trimming is involved with the Terra's but with my trails I had to trim a bit.

How hard is the trimming to do? What did you use to cut?

I just used a knife. Once you get it going it cuts pretty easy. Had the wife sir in the truck and go full lock both ways and cut until I didn't have issues.
