Depends on what rim width you go with. If you get a ten inch wide rim, the 5 inch backspacing is going to pretty much guarantee your tires will rub the control arms on tight turns.

What size tire do you want to run, and what is the recommended rim size?

Witt that amount of lift stick with 35's. Look for a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. You don't want a tire as wide as they come as that will start to tear stuff up. Imagine holding a 50 pound weight to your chest, then try to extend your arm straight out. That's that that wide of a tire does to your hubs.
