Default 2.5in spacers

Hey guys quick question on something that im not really knowledgeable in tires and suspension my question to you guys are im running a 2" leveling kit but i wanna know if my 2.5" wheel spacers make any difference in the size of the tire i can run? What i mean is would spacers help out for rubbing or would it make it worse or is it the same idk small story short i wanna run 35's with just a leveling kit and 2.5" spacers will it be okay?

you will be fine with a leveling kit with out the spacers. you would rub on the control arms a little but nothing to worry about. the spacers will stop the rubbing on the control arm but they will push the wheels way outside the fenders. if you got wheels with a little more of an offset, i have -6 offset with 35's and no rubbing, you would get the best of both worlds.

One other thing to consider...if you choose to run those 2.5" spacers, be prepared to replace those front unit bearings at $400.00 a piece some time in the near future. I'm assuming you have a 4x4. You'll also want to make sure your rear bearings are well packed and tight. If they're even a little loose, the extra stress of moving the tire/wheel out will eventually cause early failure.
