Trimming with bigger tires?

So I got an 08 f150 fx4 with 2.5 level and 35" toyo mt's. I really want to put wider rims with more offset to get them to stick out more and more agressive. What kind of trimming am I looking at? Actually cutting into my bumper and fenders?

I had 33's on 20"x10" rims and had to do a lot of trimming and still rubbed. To run 35's on 10" wide rims, you will need at least a 4" lift and more likely 6".

Don't know if I wanna do it. I really need more input. Like if its just the bottom valance of he bumper cool, but I dont wanna cut any of the shadow grey wheel well molding off the truck.

You have 35s right now? What kind of rims are they on? If they are stock most likely going with a larger offset will reduce the amount of rubbing. But the wider wheels may increase it. Ive seen lots of people on here with the 35 inch toyos and the 18 inch moto metal 951s with just a spacer and they seem to have no problems at all.

Thanks man. I am running stock 18's with the 35's. I dont mind rubbing control arms at full lock. I am just worried that a bigger offset and 1.5" wider rims may make the tires hit the bumper and back fender wells when turning.
