With that wide of a tire you should really have a 9 inch wide rim at least

I do have a 5" lift, here is a close up on the wheel / tire




Here is my truck before the lift, still on 35's but with different wheels.

Are you saying the 8" rims won't work?

Did you have any issues before the lift? What size rims did you have?

I did have to trim my bumper and fender, but that was no big issue. Keep in mind when you put these big 35's on you do have to crank your T-bars up which will stiffen the ride significantly. If you crank then too far you will find yourself replacing CV axles a lot. People have the exact measurements, if you ask them what the height should be from your hub to the top of the fender to safely clear 35's they would know.

I am currently on a 17x9 rim, the pic where I had no lift was with 17x8's.
