DO A SEARCH! this has been covered many times. generally speaking, people buy 35 x 12.5 tires and mount them on 9"+- rims with 4.5"+- back spacing. If you fall into this catorogery, you will probably have to trim the plastic part of the bumper valence and the inner plastic fender has to be trimmed a bit so it wont rub at full lock

you will fit the tires and no one will notice that you trimmed anything so go do it! You can trim the bumper so that it pretty much looks factory

2 - 2.5 inch leveling kit with 35x11.5 on factory wheels should be fine with minimal rubbing...

I'm running 35x11.5x20's and had to do a little trimming. I circled the areas to trim. The front area had to be done, the area behind the rear of the tire only rubs a little at full lock. Easy to do and well worth it.
