Will 17x9 wheels fit my 07 with 35s and a 2" level kit or do i need less more BS?

Thats really close. You really want 5.5-6" of back spacing. Stock wheels have 6.25 back spacing, so with a 35X12.50X17 tire you will have a slight rub on the upper control arm at full lock. 5" and under back spacing you might rub at the rear lower portion of the fender opening. I found that 5.75" is just about perfect but good luck finding wheels with that back spacing. Its one of the biggest reasons why you see so many guys running H2 wheels with 35s and a leveling kit. Cheap and perfect back spacing
