Default 35"tires on stock 20" Rims

I'm sure this question has been brought up a lot but i can't seem to find an exact answer. I have a 2011 Ram 1500. I put a Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit and 1.25" body lift kit on. I would like to put 35's on but I want to keep the stock rims due to the fact that i like how they look and simply cant afford tires AND rims. I am told that due to the rim's off set the 35's will rub. Is this true? and if so, will spacers solve the problem?

I have a set of Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/65/20 on stock rims and no spacers. I think they end up being about 35.4 inches. They rub the inner fender wells on full lock under certain situations but honestly it really isn't bad. I have the Bilstein adjustable shocks at 2.5 inches in the front.

People stop me all the time to ask me about the tires, especially other Ram owners. The look is perfect and the rubbing is minimal.

Its not the inner fender that Im worried about rubbing. Im more concerned with rubbing on suspension parts like the sway bar and uppar A-arm. With stock tires there really isnt much room .

I just put the RoughCounty 2.5F/1.75R leveling kit on my 09 a couple of days ago. I went with 285/65/20 (equates to 34.9x11.4 - I think) Goodyear MTRs on stock rims and I haven't experienced any rubbing.

I have a Rough Country 4in Lift kit on my 2011 1500 Sport with stock wheels and need 1/4" wheel spacers up front to clear the taller and bigger knuckles. Without the spacers the tires wouldnt clear the knuckles.
