35" Tires on a 2.5" leveling kit on my 04' F150 4x4

Hey I wanted to know if I can put a 35" Tire on a 2.5" leveling kit on my Ford F150 Supercab 4x4 without having to do any shaving off of the rim well if thats how you say it.
If so does the tire have to be a certain width like 12.5" or so.I heard some people say you can if you have the 4x4 version or something?
I really want to put 35" tires on before I go to the University. Thanks.

HAHAH, im lost but you can put 35s with a 2.5 with the right back spacing you might have to do a little trimming.

You can mount 35x12.50's with a 2.5 inch leveling kit by using the OEM wheels. THere will me some minor rubbing on the control arms at full steering lock however.

you guys have never shaved your rims. it helps a lot. after i shaved my rims i could fit 37's on stock rims with just a 2.5" leveling kit on a 2wd.

Alright seriously now...I've just purchased the AS 2 1/2 " leveling kit. Will 35's only work with the AS if your using OEM's? How badly would the rubbing be if I mounted 35's on Mazzi Hulks(18's)? Oh, for reference 2004 Screw 4x4..Thanks in advance....
