Default 4.5" lift and 35" tires

Sorry for having to post this but I can seam to find what Im looking for.

I got 4.5" lift, cut fenders and 33's. Im confident I can fit 34" tires though there are few and far between and nothing really in my price range.

Ive had several offers for 35's but dont think they will clear and/or trail well without rubbing.

anyone running this setup? pics? and comments suggestions?

Tried 35s under my 2 door with 4.5" and trimmed fenders. Rubbed ALOT. Went down to 33s and am much happier.

Trim those fenders, correct bump stops and it will work killer.. Also, dont use 10" wide mexican g ride wheels, the further the tire sticks out, the more its gonna rub.
