Where is the rubbing at now? If it's on the frame, the wider wheel will help that, but it may cause rubbing on the fenders. With a 35 inch tire you will probably be much better off with the body lift. Do they happen to have the backspacing listed for those wheels.

it rubs on the frame on full turns and a LITTLE bit on the arm not that much. i just ordered the body lift from 4wheelparts 10min ago, so then u think i should go with the 18x10? no i cant find the back spacing im still looking though ill post it when i find the backspacing on these wheels.

Unless the 18x10's have a lot of backspacing they will probably cause rubbing on the fenders.

It's hard to tell. I know that the Mickey Thompson 18x10 has 6 inches of backspacing and they appear to work fine. However most other 10 inch wide wheels seem to have a lot less backspacing and stick way outside the wheelwells.
