If I were you I would upgrade those control arm bolts to the 9/16 shouldered bolts.

If you have aftermarket rear control arms that move the axle back 1" like some of the RK arms, 35's may rub some rear bumpers but I haven't seen them to close to the rear pinch seam. The only real way to tell is to flex it out and take a look. 1/4" to 1/2" is an acceptable amount of space. 37"s are another ball game.
