Default Will These Rub?

I can get a good deal on these tires since I lost the last set. They are 35 12.5 15s and I'm wandering if they would rub? I have a 2.5" leveling kit and I'm getting 4" blocks for the back. Here they are:

How could I find out the offset? He said they came off his 85 w150 ram and didn't rub.

Just buy them. Worst you will have to do is some grinding

Get a tape measure, a straight edge of some flavor, put the straight edge across the back of the rim (not the tire) measure down to the flat area that mates to the drum/hub. This will give you your offset. Are you ready to cut off some of your fender at the bottom? Grinding calipers is just bad DON'T DO IT EVER.

Probably be ok in the back, but, they WILL rub in front. Need more lift to clear those.

Alright thanks guys. I might go take a look at them here when I get a chance and test one of them on my truck. And I would hate to cut or grind anything on my truck honestly.

HeyYou: Even with a 2.5" leveling kit I'll need more clearance?

Danny Gaston only had a factory 2" lift on his ram and put 35s on though. I figured if I put my leveling kit on and my bigger blocks, I might be able to?
