Default Tire help please

I know this topic has been beat to death and I am very sorry I am doing it again. But I got a chance to get some short track race truck tires that are 35x12.50x17 for a steal. 50 and tire most having 20-40 laps top and 80-95% tread. But I have to go to las Vegas to get them and that's a 5 hour drive. So will they fit under a supercrew with t crank and factory blocks in the back. Please keep it yes or no. Please no shoulds or probably. I am looking at 150 in gas alone. Lol thanks everyone

So what will I have to do to make them fit? BL? If so what is the minimum lift? Or would I have to go full 6" lift? Or will lift keys work? I just want 35s lol

You could run them on just Baja fenders lol.. Avoid keys tho, they only seem to bring problems, torsion crank and 3" body lift and you'll clear no problem

I just read some of your older posts, you're going to have to put the blocks back in the rear too probably

Spacers and mild trimming are another possibility, shorter and wider stance if you like that look.
