I'm not aware of anything that fits a stock-ish (i.e. relatively narrow) 16" truck steel wheel that can get you to 35, but others may know of some options. 255/85/16 is the tallest tire I've seen that can be safely mounted on a 6.5-8" steelie - just over 33". How wide are your wheels, inner lip to inner lip? that may help narrow down (or expand) your options.
