Cheers! Fitting 35's will be tough, but not impossible. I know Aussie laws regarding suspension modifications are strict, much stricter than on this side of the pond, but if you can swing a shackle reversal in the front, and use longer anti-inversion shackles (see www.man-a-fre.com, "4+" anti-inversion greasable shackles" and a suspension lift like OME. you should be able to fit 35's without any fender/guard trimming.
The *KEY* to this is going to be the wheels/rims you use, you want to stay within the 8" wide or below range and make sure you got the right backspacing.
I've seen it done and have pictures, a good friend of mine ran his FJ60 like this for years.
G'night!

I run 2.5" lift springs and 2" over regular shackles and 35" MTR on 8x15 rims. I will rub a little on the front left if going downhill and I bounce into a hole. Never rubs on the right side. I attribute this to my fat ass. The back end tucks up in there just fine. I will rub a bit on the inside of the wheel wells when twisted up. A 1" body lift will fix most of this. I did trim the front of my fenders on the bottom under the headlights. Took off about 2" or so.

I too just trimmed the front lip of the fender. The place I rubbed the worst was the front of the inner fender. I unbolted the inner fender, then cut the front lip that it bolts to off, then tack weleded it back in. I'm running 35's on a 2.5" spring lift and a 1" body lift. I've got 2" over stock shackles coming in the mail to me
