35" wheels are huge. talk about donked out.

If youre talking 35" tires - 6" lift, 38s, more like 10-12" lift. Youll be trimming either way.

Tires are 32" wheels are 18-22" factory. 35" tires on factory wheels still need 4" minimum of not 6 lift. 38" tires need 10-12" lift.

Are we talking about wheel or tire size here? I am so lost on this thread.

Yes 3" difference doesn't sound like much... But as others have said, wheel offset and width make a huge difference in what you can run. You can run a 35" tire on a level on stock wheels, if you don't mind making multiple point turns. To do it the correct way, a 6" lift would be best. Your ride quality would be better as well as be easier on front end components. Could probably get away with a 4" lift and the large NorCal mod...
