How tight will this be?
I plan on putting a 2.5 AS leveling kit with Black Moto Metal 951 17x9 12mm offset and bs of 4.53 with 315/70/17 bfg's on 05 4x4. Do you think this will fit?

No. You will need to stick with 33's or add at least a 3 inch body lift to fit 35's using those wheels.

If you are going with a 17x9 rim you will need at least 5.5" of backspace. I'm running 20x9 rim with 6" backspace and 35" tires with no issues.

You would need something close to the OEM wheel specs (7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing). You might could fit them with an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing.
