depends on the wheel but most likely not..you will need a few inches of lift
and your mileage wont be affected too badly..maybe 1 or 2 mpgs depending on the tires and gears

theres a chance you could manage with a leveling kit but definately not stock height

Your gonna need a 2" leveler to clear most 35's. If the rim has an aggressive offset your gonna have to go 6" minimum lift to alleviate any rubbing problems. My truck cleared 35's with a leveling kit, but I couldnt turn the wheel more than a half turn of the wheel before tire rubbed the trailing edge of the wheel wells. I had to go to a 6" to get past the rubbing.
Heres a few pics of mine with 6"s and 20x10 rims with 3" offset and 35's.

Just a note to think on. I have 35 inch Nittos on my truck. They measure 35 inches exactly from the ground. My buddy has 35 inch Mickey Tompsons that actually measured 32 inches brand new. I have another buddy thats runnin 35 inch swampers that measure 33.5 inches from the ground. I also know a guy that has a set of 33 inch swampers that are 34.5 inches.
So, all tires will deviate a few inches from their advertised size among the different manufacturers. And we werent measuring tires with low air pressure. I was walking around the work parking lot for like 2 weeks with a tape measure measuring everyones tires while I was trying to decide on what size of tire to go with.
You should find a few tire styles you like and grap a tape and hit the parking lots measuring tire height and comparing that to the tires advertised size.
And remember you can shoehorn a larger tire into the wheel well if you use a wheel with modest offset.
The more the tire sticks out the more it will "draw" into the lower edges of the fender while turning.
Thats all just my .02 from experience. Keep it in mind when choosing.
Good luck in your search for the perfect wheel/tire combo! :beer:beer
