You will rub the control arm with the factory backspacing.

Talked to the guy who has the tires i want ... says he puts 35's on ram 1500's all the time with the factory rims...but it does require the spacer 6mm i think he said(1/4")...he also said they will fit without the 2" leveling kit... but it would rub on the plastic...

Ok, don't have them on the stock 20's, but I do have Wrangler DuraTrac 315/70/17's (pretty much the same thing as 35x12.5x17). These are 34.4" according to Goodyear website. I have a 2" Readylift leveling kit on the front end. Before I added my grill guard, which weighs down my front end, I still had enough room for another 1/2". Still not rubbing now, even with the extra weight on the front.
