Lot's of data on the site if you look back a page or two on the modified thread (I am looking also, but at 33's)
To summarize, width is a factor, not just height. 11" or so and you will limit rubbing, but still experience some even with a lift. If you go to 12 or wider, you will definately have rubbing while turning and flexing.
Recommendation for 35" is generally at least a budget boost of 2.5" or so and wheel spacers (spidertrax and terraflex are most recommended). You will spend $150 or so on a boost and $200-300 on spacers in addition to your tires. You will need the lift regardless, but can go with a 4.5" or so backspaced wheel and eliminate the need for spacers.
Do a search and find way more info than I am offering in this summary.
