35x12.50 Too Wide for 04' F150?

I was told that my 12.50 wide tires would rub badly on my F-150 is this true? If this is true what can I do to fix it, if anything?

How much lift? Rim width, offset and backspacing?

I was going to get a 2.5" leveling kit, with 3" block in the back, I have the stock 18" wheels for my 2004 F-150, I believe it is a 7.5" width but don't quote me on that, my truck is a Lariat.

Thanks!

They will not fit on stock wheels. The tires that I have on my truck are the biggest that you can get with the stock 18s and Nitto is the only company that carries the 295s that are skinny enough to fit on factory wheels. If you want pics of what it will look like with 2.5" leveling kit and the 295/70/r18s on it, just look through my gallery.
