What size tire on 18x8.5 rims?

Hey all-

my 05 fx4 screw comes in this week and I am ordering tires/rims for it. I want to get some 18x8.5 weld evos (style not sure yet) with some 35" tires (installing the 2" leveling kit). What tire size should I be using? I am looking at the BFG AT T/A KO's which come in 35X12.5-15 from tirerack.com. I am guessing 35x12.5, but not sure? Once I figure this out I have to find a place to buy the weld's from

Thanks!

35x12.50-18's are gonna be a tight fit on an 8.5 inch wide wheels with just a leveling kit. I belive Richgonefishn has 35x12.50's on 18x8.5 inch Weld wheels wit a leveling kit and has some minor rubbing. I think you would clear 33x12.50's easily with that lift and wheel combo.

how much rubbing is 'minor'? (thanks for the response, btw)

My 02' screw has 33's on the stock rims with slight rubbing when I crank the wheel all the way right or left - would the 'minor rubbing' with the 35's be something similar to this?

Thanks!
