I have pretty much the same setup, 2.5" AS with 1.5" aal, also went with the Incubus Poltergeist rims in 20 x 9 The tires are the new BFG K/O in 285/65/20 which is approx a 34.5" X 11.5" tire. So far I love it, no rubbing or power loss with a much taller tire. Assuming your rims have a 5.5" - 6" backspace like mine and a 17x8 rim you should be able to mount a 35x12.50 tire with no problems. Good luck

I'd go with BFG MT KM's, Goodyear MTR's or Toyo MT's.

Maxxis Buckshot. Very good MT. Around here they are fairly cheap. Good mileage for a MT.
