Default Can i clear 35s?

I drive a 2004 f150 with a 3 inch leveling kit. It has 285/12.50/18 bfg ats on it now and they have plenty of space, but I plan on buying 35/12.50/18 interco m16s within the next month or so. I need to know if I will be able to clear these tires? I want to put as big tire as possible with minimal rubbing. Any ideas?

There are a lot of factors that change that, off set on your wheels is a big one. Are you going to be running stock wheels or aftermarket? If you get a negative off set then rubbing becomes more of an issue.

I'm thinking with the aggressive sidewall on those tires, you will rub the upper control arm pretty good. My 325/60/18 terra grapplers are super close, can't even sick my pinky in between the arm and tire.

Do you have a lift? Or just leveled?

X2 I'm running 35x12.50 20R with a mid-offset. Minor rubbing when turning hard left/right on a 2.5 inch level
