Default Level Kit and 3" Lift with LT325/70R17 (35x13x17) Nitto Terra Grapplers

I did a mess of searches but couldn't find anyone with an 06-08 with this setup that I plan on doing.

My truck 08 4X4 has a level kit and a 3 inch body lift currently on it now. My question is this, will these tires LT325/70R17 (35x13x17) Nitto Terra Grapplers fit my truck setup with a Mickey Thomson Classic II 17x9 12mm offset with 4.5 back space with a level kit and a 3" body lift.

I know that the height of the tire will work but my question is the width...Will the 13 inches be to wide and rub due to the 06-08 setup?

Is anyone running this setup? Nitto does not make a 315/70R17 tire.

has your answers. It's the upper a-arm where the upper balljoint is that is close to the tire. 4.5"BS clears your tire. Width might rub liner but doubtful.
That 325 tire is 12.79" and in reality is more like 12.5" and maybe even narrower when mounted on a 9" rim.

Thanks for your answer, I have been running BFG 315/70r17s with no issues I do know that these tires are a bit bigger and was worried about the inner tire hitting something major. If it only hit's the liner when turning I don't have an issue with that. Again thanks, I imagine if push comes to shove I could put spacers on.
