I'm not a tire expert but I'm gonna answer you. You can fit 35 inch tires if you use the stock rims but it will rub some and the tires will wear unevenley.

im running 33" m/t's they dont rub at all, but they're not as big as the 35's obviously...they're still nice and big, and really throw mud (33x12.5R18 Toyo Open Country M/T)

Yeah, 35x12.50's is the largest you can go. If you don't plan on more lift in the future, I'd stick with 33's and add wider aftermarket wheels a little later.
