35 x 12.5 R15
I really want to get some 35s but all I have are 3 inch lift in the front and a 2 inch BL. Will I be able to run with these for road use at the least? How bad will the rubbing be before trimming?

Tons of rubbing. Poor power. Poor braking. They are not going to fit the stock wheels.

Wait, so you are at 5" total lift? a 2" body lift and a 3" suspension lift should clear 35s just fine??

Gerdo is right about the loss of power and and braking, what are you geared at?
I would check with Kregg or MillerPKA, someone that has 35s
you may have to do a little trimming and pounding, but there are several here running 35s,

his sig says spidertrax, with the OEM wheels you have to run spacers, or else those tires will be squeezed against the UCA. My MTZs are 11.8" wide and I'm reaally close to the UCA and my wheel has a 4" bs. So, to the OP, with a 12.5" wide tire you will need some thick spacers if you want to use them on an OEM 15" wheel.

yeah the pinch weld isn't really the problem since you can beat the sh!t out of it with a hammer, and cut if necessary. It's that UCA, if he put 12.5" wide tires on that stock wheel with 4.5" bs he would be squeezing the tire against it as he tightened the lugs. He would be driving down the road rubbing the whole way. ewww lol

Re-Gearing chart
should give you a good idea of the new gearing recommendations if you decide. Our T4R's usually run 4.11 gears at stock.

yeah I think 12.50's are too wide. You'd need like a 2" spacer. Highly doubt the wheels are worth the trouble.
And yeah I'm running the spidertrax. I like them so far. Wish I didn't need a spacer but I like the stock OEM wheels. Haven't found a set that I like enough to dish out $5-600 for.
