Maybe be safer with 33's than?? I dont mind trimming, im from the chicago area, i know as soon as i take the fares off, the lips of the fender is gonna be all chewed up from rust, originally, i was wondering how 35's would function/ride/look on the street with a 5 inch lift? I have wheels with 3.75 bs, would i run into any issues??

Be prepared to regear as what gas mileage you had will be down the pisser!

It's gonna take A LOT of bumpstoping if he doesn't want to trim. Bump stop it, & trim some. They fit fine if you do the cut & fold in the rear!

I had 5.5" lift and 35s, with minor fender trimming... rubbed on any little off camber (and I mean little) obstacle. now I sit at 7 to 7.5 inch on 35s with minor fender trimming and have no problems.
1st pic is at 5.5" lift, other 2 pics are of 7 to 7.5 inch lift

With 35's you are going to have to do some trimming either way just because the wheel will no longer fit in the wheel well at all. With long bumpstops you would only have to trim corners of bumpers and minor trimming of the rear fenders.

OP FWIW: I have 4.5" on Q78's which are between a 35 and a 36 and I trimmed the rear and did the cut and fold and trimmed the front to the top of the fender flare and it give plenty of wheel opening and doesnt look like a hack job.
