Default got new tires&wheels for my truck and they rubb

I order this tires and wheels from 4 wheel parts at the Truck Carlisle event. They told me they shouldn't stick out more than a 1/2 inch turns out they stick out like 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Anyways they are 35x12.50X18's on 18x9 XD spys. I have what I think is a 3" super lift on it. It was on the truck when I bought it. Anyways all the rubbing is up front. The inner fender wheel plastic/ bottom of the front fender and the lower front plastic peace on the bumper. I was thinking I could do from trimming and beating as much as I hate to do it to my truck. Or just ordering up a 5" Rough country kit since I want to run some bushwacker fender flares. I am just worried they there will be to much clearance then and it might look goofy. Any opinions or comment would help.

first off, nice rig.
Can you post a pic with the tire turned so we can see where it's rubbing?

Is it rubbing when you turn the wheel to the left?

I dont know about those people at 4x4 parts.
I got some wheels there for my F 250 and when i went to pick the truck up... They told me that the center caps wont go on, said i could buy wheel spacers if i want them to fit.
Bad business.

You're running more 'neutral' or zero-ish offset wheels on a truck that came with 6" backspacing wheels. Of course the rubber will stick out.

The truck looks the right height for 35's. I would just cut the plastic back, and even run an aftermarket bumper if it helped clearance. Longer/adjustble control arms may be a further (future) benefit.
