Default lift and tire size

Hi I am 17 and I have a 1999 chevy silverado single cab, short bed, step side, I was just wondering if a 5inch lift gives room for 35"/12.50 R17 All teraintires. I would greatly appreciate if you would answer my Q. I am pretty sure it will fit fine but I figured it wouldnt heard to ask.

Yes, but watch the backspacing of the rims. Too much backspacing will bring the wheels/tires in too close. Too little backspacing could make the tires rub the fenders when you turn. But youwill be okay with a 5" lift.

Yes it should work fine, I ran 315's forever on my truck stock, with just the torsion bars turned up. It's a 99 chevy silverado,
