35's on a d35 is just asking for problems. And 35's on stock gears is awful. It can be done, but I HIGHLY advise against it

I'd wait on the 35s until a regear and a different rear end. But if you throw them on before that anyway, like most of us would, take it easy. 35's on 3.55 is no the worst thing with a stick, but I hear it sucks more with an auto.
The D30 can hold up to 35s fine open. Locked it can do it, but some chromoly's are very advisable.

Stock gears suck, brakes suck.

Other than that wheel and have fun. IF you break you break. Just be aware. Any axle / tire combo can break.
