Default 35's on 2.5" lift

Did a search and didnt find the answer to my Question. Any body running a
2.5" lift with 35"s. I've got 4.5" of backspacing and it looks like it would work but was wondering how bad they rub

I'm running 35s with 2.5" BB and 4" backspacing with no issues. Not sure how much difference the extra .5" would make.

I have a 2.5" lift with 35x12.50 on 17x9s with 4.5" backspacing with no rub unless I flex it and then it rubs on the rear fender flares. I had a set of 35s on 18s and I believe the backspacing was 4.75 and they rubbed on the sway bar at full turn.
