I did end up cutting the corners of the fender arches a little. It looked really good actually. That gave me all the clearance that I needed for rough ridding sand dunes and that sort of thing. I'm in the middle of a restore on that truck and haven't decided what tire to go with. I don't think that I want to cut the fenders this time, and would really like the height of the 35's. they'll fit, I know that, and I don't plan on any serious wheeling once this restore is complete. Maybe a trip around the dunes once or twice but nothing too hard. Just thought I'd share and give my two cents.
They now make 10.50/35s. Of you mount those on 8" wheels you'll be good to go.
