Most members running 35's with only a leveling kit are using the oem rims regardless of wheel size. If you go to an aftermarket wheel you will need one with the same specs, or very close, to the oem wheels which are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

Less backspacing will make the tire stick out and hit the fenders and bumper. Too much bs will make the tire tuck in too far and rub the frame and control arms. To squeeze on 35x12.50's with only a leveling kit the wheel width and bs have to be perfect, and even then ther will be minor rubbing.
