Question Long time no see, I have a question

I'm looking into getting some new shoes for the truck, http://bit.ly/18ST6kv, don't laugh.
What I'm having a toss up on is width and offset, I'm running factory 18s and size leveled so I'm wanting run 35x12.5s on 20s for something new, I'm keeping my current set just for backups.
Trimming inner fender won't stab me in the chest or anything so no worries there.
I want a little bit of poke but nothing too crazy, 3" at the absolute most and that's kinda pushing it for me.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, pictures are even better! Rim diameter won't really matter, width and offset changes are what I wanna see.

Thanks, guys.

To fit a 35x12.50 with just a leveling kit, you will need an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing. Not many wheels available in these specs so your best bet is to add a 3 inch body lift or a full suspension lift.

Well crap, I thought I'd be able to fit it. Would I be able to fit a more narrow 35, or would it just be a better decision to body lift for larger availability? Right now I can't lift because; 1) funds don't permit it, 2) I'm unsure if any of the shops near me are trustable, 3) I don't like doing ireversible things to a vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I love my truck but if a really good chance comes, I want to be able to take it.

run the 20x10 -19 with a 33x12.5x20 tire. thats what i run on my 04 with just a level. about 2 inches of poke and a little rubbing here and there. but ya, that offset with a 35 equals no bueno

edit: just saw that there is a 20x12 -44 wheel available for our trucks. awesome
