I'd say there's a high percentage chance it'll work. A good way to test out the hypothesis would be to put the front of the truck on jack stands. Then loosen a wheel by removing the lugnuts by 1" or so. Steer the tires to the points where they make contact and see where you're at. That's what would do. But with 3.5" backspacing 15x10s my 35x12.5s don't rub nothing steering/suspension wise(almost the idler arm turning hard left though...but by roughly a hair's breadth does the pass side tire not touch it...call it ~3-5mm).

Right, so no hydraulic jack and jack stands then.

35 12.50 16? Odd...who runs those? Beats me!

Good luck!

I had 35x15.5 boggers on my 83 and they rubbed on my leaf springs. so i threw some 2 inch wheel spacers on it they worked like a dream. didnt have a problem.
but if your worried about it not being enough get a little bigger to be safe.
