that's in the wheel well. turning radius is another problem entirely.
they will definitely hit the frame behind and in front of the front
tires (behind only if the opposing tire can squish into the frame far
enough to allow it), the air dam, the cab in front of the doors, and
maybe even the rear wheel wells at full flex.
with a 3" body lift and either spacers or shallower backspaced rims, or
a Real Lift (r) that would be a different story.

what meats are these? is that really such a smokin' deal?

for all intents and purposes they're 32 x 10.5. my spare *is* a 32 x
11.5, and they're exact matches.
31" o.d
10.8" cross section on an 8" wheel
8.3" of tread
static loaded radius of 14.3"
front mudflaps don't fit, I rub hard enough that at full lock I can
feel individual tread blocks at slow enough speeds, and need extra gas
to move from a standstill, esp in reverse - no maneuverability impact
though

35s aren't big enough for the RamCharger (though they'd be a *perfect*
intermediate step...), and the Dak has the wrong rims and the same
fitment issues as yours now.... and it'll be on 16.5s after the
eventual SAS.... so no go for me unless they get even cheaper! =)
