It depends on your wheel offset. 

 

I have 35x12.50r18 Toyo Open Country ATIIIs on my truck (actually measure 34.6") on a 2.5" lift (Icon Suspension) they do not rub. My wheel is similar in offset to the factory wheels though. When you start getting into a large negative offset, this can make it where there is more potential for rubbing..

 

I think you should be fine with the 3.5in lift though without issue....

With a 3.5 lift you should more then able to put a 35in tire.  Post up pics when you have it !

Thanks for the input, I'm changing out the wheels as well to FUEL 20"/10"/ -18

Keep the factory wheel and you'll be fine. With aftermarket wheels, it's just a guessing game.

Your stock wheels are +24 offset, these are -18.  That's a total difference of 42mm (1.65" outboard), Yes, your larger tires will rub and you'll have to trim the back of the fender liner.  I have a 3.75" lift and my 285-65-20's rubbed badly with a -44 offset.  Pretty major trimming of fender liner.
