35" tires on stock rims

I am getting a Top Gun Customz 2.5" front level kit this week. I currently have 265 75 17 Destinations At on stock rims. I would love to stay with the Destinations but I want the tires to "Fill Up" the wheel wells.

Top Gun says that this level kit will allow up to 33's. I have read in numerous threads that you can fit up to 35's. Is it true that the only 35" tires that are not MT's are the Nitto Terra's??

I am not wanting arguments just some help.

I also do not want to do major trimming or cutting. I have not done anything on my 2006 SCREW just wanting some cosmetic better looks. I do travel dirt roads and go through fields in hunting season but no major mudding.

Thanks for your advice.

Yes, you can fit up to 35's on a leveled 4x4 on OEM wheels. Depending on the tire you may have some rubbing at full lock.

No, the terra grapplers are not the only 35" AT. You could get the BFG AT in a 315/70/17 (mathematically that converts to a 12.5" wide tire but specs say 12" wide). Micky Thompson ATZ, Procomp Xtreme Terrain AT. There are probably many more out there, but this are some of the more popular ones.

What are the width of your stock rims? Rule of thumb; tires should not be any wider than 4" beyond rim width. Some people are running these but it can cause cupping issues (odd tread wear)

I had some 33x12.50's mounted on my stock 17x7.5 wheels and had some funky tread wear. The tires looked kinda ballooned too so I put some 11" wide tires on when it was time for new tires and it feels/looks much better and the tread is wearing normal.
