295/65 R 20 Vs. 35"x 12.5x 20 ??

I have a new 2024 1500 RST with Z71 and adding a 4" Readylift SST lift. I am trying to decide between 295/65 R 20's or 35" x12.50 tires. They will be on 20x10 wheels with -19 offset.

I am good with both tires as the height is the same but the width is slightly less with the 295's. Hoping for the widest tire without too much rubbing.

Thoughts?
On either setup, you will probably need to remove/trim the mud flap or at least the bracket behind it and pull it back with zip ties. Buddy has the 295 setup on a 2019 and it just barely rubs after trimming the mudfaps. A 35x12.5 is probably closer to 34.5" tall, but its got the width to create rub. I can't imagine either setup being really that bad though with a 4" lift and minor mudflap mods. I suggest going to the custom offsets website and searching through the gallery using inputs on both desired setups. The comments below the pictures usually tells you if they have little to no rub or if it rubs like a SOB.
