Welcome to the forum.
In a nutshell, if you have 4x4, some 35s will fit, but they will rub. Period.
All other instances: no they won't fit.

You also have to consider that there is a BIG difference between having a tire that fits and having a tire that fits and leaves the truck useable.

Seen a bunch of trucks around here riding on big meats that scrub at every turn, can't hold more than a couple hundred pounds in the bed or has enough articulation to get over a speed bump much less be able to do anything off-road...

I have 35s on 2 inches in the front with partially trimmed fenders and at full turn I don't scrub.. If im on a hill and turn it all the way that's the only way they do...
