Depending on the wheel width and offset you can fit up to a 37. For most cases fitting a 35/12.5 won't be a problem.
I am running a 20x9 +10 offset wheel with 35/12.5/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's and the tires will rub slightly on the back side of the fender well. I think once I some longer control arms (to recenter the wheel) I won't have any rubbing problems. If I had a little less offset (few MM) I wouldn't rub at all. Oh and I have a 2" level.

NWRQC do you have any pic of your truck looking front to back? would like to see how much your tires stick out.

I'll see what I can find, if I don't have any I'll take some later.

You are wrong. It is the other way around.
