Are you doing the lift yourself? If not, ask the installer if you have the kit already picked out.

Not the best pic at all but maybe this will help you. The tires stick out about 2" past the fenders, well atleast the front tires do.
18x9
4.5 BS
-12 offset

The 12 mm difference in offset is equal to half an inch. So not quite as far, but still stick out quite a bit more than now. U do realize u could fit 35s without the body lift if u keep rims close to stock specs. I just put 315/70/17 which is real close to 35 on mine with 2 inch level and have no rub.
