I would guess that it would not change and still need to be 3.5".

Check out this table. It should partly answer your question Wheel Backspace Table

So would i have to run wheel spacers ?as the backspace off the 35's is between 3"-4" aprox , but they hit the tie rod arm parrellel to chassis at 2/3 full turn

I have a 1984 BJ45 Troopy. It use to have a 16x6 wheels and 305/70 R16 with no spacers. I recently installed 15x10 Eaton beadlock wheels with 33x11.5x15 Simex Tires. I thought this set up was Ok, until I installed it. The tie rod was rubbing against the front wheels. It needed some spacers and I put 1.25 all around. The back didn't need it, but I put it anyways to balance it out. Hope this helps. Jay

Had to run 1.5" spacers on my front to prevent rub but as Jay2000 I use them all the way around.
