You will need wheel spacers and some trimming and they will fit

If your wheels have enough backspacing, you won't need wheel spacers. Although they would be a good idea to give that extra width since your tires are 13.50" wide and most pees only run 12.50".

You should trim your pinch seam as well.

Otherwise you should be set.

Flat fenders would be good idea for looks and stuff more.

Default 35s

If you want 35s consider a 4" suspension lift. It will cost you a little extra $ but will have a better stance with no rubbing/trimming/spacers needed...

It will also allow you to go to 37s or 40s with a body lift! (i know i prob will want to one day...)

I have see plenty of people with a 2.5 lift with 35s. I have 3" in the rear and 3.5 in the front I know I will need to cut the pinch seam just need to know will they fit without spacers.

I would think your biggest obsticle would be the backspacing. The pintlers are 4.7" which is good for 12.50" wide tires but you want 13.50". You may need wheel spacers to make it happen. If you are willing to run spacers then; buy your tires, if they won't fit, buy some spacers. If you aren't willing to run spacers stick with 12.50" tires.
