Can I run 35's on an '04 with leveling kit

I have an '04 with the rough country 2.5 leveling kit. I want to put the XD hoss wheels and 35's on my truck. What backspacing can I use and what size tires can i run. I would like to run 20's with 35's put am scared it will rub since I have leaf springs.

HELP ME!!!!

My 33's rubbed at full lock, but I was running wide tires on a stock wheel

I've heard different opinions on both. I have a leveling kit, 18" wheels with 4.53" backspacing and 33x13s and I had to trim the front valance and zip tie the inner fender well back to keep it from rubbing. You might be able to run a 35x12.50, but you need maximum backspacing! 4.5" or lower would be recommended.

I think I would probably go with 33's so it would be like a 305/55/20 maybe BFG mud terrains
