Default will these rims work?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bart-Wheels-...orcev4exp=true

will these rims with 35x12.5 tires fit under my 99 1500 with 3 inches of lift. if they stick out a bit i dont care i run bushwacker flares that cover close to 2 inches off the fender. i know the lug patterns right just wondering about clearing my brakes in the front.

What year is your truck?

You may have to trim up the brakes a bit to fit the rim on...

Can't remember is '99 is single or dual caliper piston, but either way it will work, just may take a little grinding to fit on the front...

Wont be bogging long. Need gears to help keep your transmission alive. Then comes the issues of how many front end parts are gonna get ate up.

are you sure those will fit. my truck have 15" rims and there is not a lot of room between the bleeder screw and rim. i think they must have gone to 16" rims on the newer trucks for a reason. according to the Compatibility thing on ebay they are not compatible with your truck.
