Felt VR and Gravelking SS 700x35

Hello.
So, anyone with a Felt VR (I have a 2016 VR5) tried to mount Panaracer Gravelking SS 700x35?
The chain-stays look tight, so just wondering if they will fit.
Thanks!

That is a nice looking bike, glad it turned out good for you and you're enjoying it.
I'm going from 32's to 35's on my VR4.
