Default 35 inch tires with leveling kit

Im puttin rims and tires on my truck and i was wondering if anybody knew how i could fit 35's with just a leveling kit with minimum rub. i know if i get wide ride it will rub way too much and possibly rip off the bumper. if anybody could give me some dimensions and maybe pics of what it will look like. appreciate it!

I run 35's with a leveling kit and I don't have any issues; it does rub a little at steering lock if I hit a big bump...so I don't do that.

Tire size: 35x12.50x17, they are Toyo's.

Slight rub on control arms at full lock, no fender or bumper contact.

It depends. If you get wider rims with plenty of backspace like the stockers that would minimize this problem to a certain extent.

It's just a question of where it will rub when you get some combination of width, overall tire height and backspace far enough out of whack to exceed the additional clearance offered by a given amount of lift.
