Default Widest wheel and tallest tire able to fit on a leveled F250?

Hey guys, im looking at leveling my 2005 F250 with a 3" in the front and 2" in the back lift, and putting 20's and 35's on it. My only problem is that im not sure if a 20"x10" wheel will work with a 35"x12.5" with out rubbing the frame, bumper etc... Any suggestions or facts on this problem would greatly be appreciated!!!!!

I've been told the tallest you can do is 35. I got 285's on mine and it seems like I got plenty of Clarence i. Ight go with some 315 by 35 on mine when I get my leveling kit it

The width is everything. Back space is pretty standard, but width, well that's another story. When I had a leveling kit on my 2003, 285 on 16X8s fit fine, probably could have gone 315s that way. However, I don't like 12.5in tires on 8in wheels, so I went to 10s. Bottomline, I don't think that tire/wheel combo would have worked without the lift. Even with the lift I moved my front bumper forward about 1.5 inches, and I can stuff the trailing edge of my wheel opening going into a parking lot if the tires are turned properly.

There are lots of guys running 35s and a leveling kit, but they are ALL on 8inch wheels or LESS.
