Default tire question

so ive read up on this and i just want to be clear that all this **** will fit under my truck. i have an 06 1500 4x4. I am buying bilstein shocks to raise it up in the front and rims with an offset of -12, 35/12.5's will fit correct? just want to make sure what im reading is correct.

They will fit if you at least level it. But they will stick out a little. I have -12mm rims with 4.5" backspace with 34 x 12.36 tires and there is room for more. I just didn't want to stuff the fender wells too much.

Can't guarantee you won't get a slight rub at full lock with the 35's but shouldn't be major and may not be an issue at all.

He's got less wiggle room inside there than we do (coil / torsion bar). Just something to keep in mind.
