5 inches is generally enough to fit 35's. I don't know if the O/R edition got any axle trussing, so, that may be as large as you want to go. If they are going to rub, it will be on the lower control arms of the front suspension. Slightly lower backspacing on the wheels would fix that, or, just don't turn that sharp.

Once you get over that magic number 3, lifts start getting expensive.....
pitman arm, sway bar, brake lines (if u wanna do it right), shocks, etc ...also the cost of an alignment
