depends on the tire style as to whether it will work with no issues. for example toyo mt's have huge side lugs and rub badly at lock, where as the bfg muds dont rub anywhere in the same size. You will for sure need to level.

I personally would highly suggest 295 70 17's as they are cheaper in this side and also fit better, but look very close to the same.

I was advised that the widest you can go on a stock rim is 285, any bigger and the sidewall will rub on the spring itself.

again then depends on the brand/type of tire you go with. Some companies 35's are really narrower then other for example. also depends on rims you use.

You will have some rubbing and have to do some trimming with 35x12.5" tires on stock wheels without a leveling kit regardless of the make of the tire...

You can fit a 35x12.5 on a stock 7 1/2"wheel but it has to be on a leveled 4x4 to work. They still may rub when making hard crank's. An all terrain tire has better chances not to rub then a mud tire.

Most 35" tires require a minimum of 8" wide wheels. Stock 7.5" wheels is risky...

I dont think you can fit them at all without a leveling kit at least. I have a 2" leveling kit and had that with my 35's.
