35's on stock wheels, leveled truck, will they rub?

I leveled my truck (2") and put my 35" Vortracs onto chrome H2's, they look great but I don't like how far they stick out and it's a VERY tight fit at my fenders, they rub mud flaps when I turn.

If I put the tires on my stock wheels will they rub my control arms?

If you have 35's on the stock wheels do you have pictures of the fender clearance with the wheels turned?

I ran 35's on stock wheels for about a year before I lifted the truck. Tires will rub the contorl arms if your turing hard.

35's on stock wheels will rub the control arms at full lock. I have pics in my gallery, but no pics with the wheels turned.

I thought the H2s were a good fit and good looks. If I was going to go to another wheel, i'd def. go H2s over aftermarket. I've been considering getting some.

Yes, the 315's I have rubbed the control arms on full lock with the stock tires.

Sorry, no pics.

They`ll only rub at full lock , and they don`t hurt anything....not sure about your driving requirements , but I rarely need to do full lock turns

You`re the first one I`ve ever heard of that doesn`t like the fit of the H2s

lol
I set my BDTD to 34.75 and my speed according to the GPS was pretty much right on so yeah, I guess it will only get better over time.

RamDad, I really like the look of the H2's, it's just the rubbing issues and tires sticking out I don't like, maybe these tires are worse with the big round sidewalls.
If I go back to the stockers I'll hold onto the H2's for my next set of tires that'll be a little smaller and narrower.
