well i dont know how well they will fit the front if you get 315's my 305's rub alittle at stock height, so 315's might rub even with diffrent keys. They should fit your rims it will have massive sidewall bulge, but some people like that look.

For 35's you need Ford Keys, an add-a-leaf in the rear, and a 3" body lift. Even then it might still require a little trimming depending on the wheel. Offset is crucial for lifted applications.
