I could be wrong but I dont think 35" will fit without at least a leveling kit. 33" or 305 will be the largest. On the stock 7" wide rim 12.50" width is the widest the rim will hold. Hope this helps

The 35's should fit then. Maybe slight rub when you turn the wheel all the way to the right or left, that also depends on if you get an aggressive tread pattern. All Terrain should be fine.

Hmm...I have those 285s on a stock suspension and no rub. Maybe I ought to measure that but they are about 50% tread now.

Keith did you know that a 295/75 is a taller and narrower tire than a 305/70 which is shorter but wider? Its only a half inch to an inch in either direction..
