The wider they are the worse they'll rub on springs and inner gaurds

I'd give the 35x12.5's a miss - from what i've seen the center lugs are too close together.
Go the 35x10.5's, of if you'r not concerned about clearance/scrubbing the 35x11.5's.

I have BFG 35x12.5x15 on mine with the same lift as you. The only place they rub is on the inner wheel well on the rear. It's all smooth panel there, so it isn't an issue. Probably different size tyres to the Simex though.

I run Q78's. They hit the springs on full lock. The hit the rear body mount on full flex. The rear inner gaurds on flex. The front of the front inner gaurds. But i have two inch extended shackles so the axles move futher on compression aswell.

i run 36x11.5R16 (285/85R16?) MT117s on mine and they hit the front springs on full lock (easy fixed by adjusting lock stops) and inner guards front and rear on compressin, but they also make the car look like a mushroom cause they are so skinny on a big truck!

I've got the 11.5's
The centre lugs are exactly the same size on the 10.5 and 11.5 tyres, but just spaced out a little more for the wider tyre, so there's bigger voids between them, and the outside lugs are slightly longer. This spacing makes them run a little cooler on the road thatn the 10.5's too. The 11.5 is a slightly bigger diameter than the 10.5, so you need more clearance. The 11.5's measure 12.5 in width anyway, and are the same width as my 35x12.5 BFG AT's, but stand around 1 1/2 inches taller. The 12.5's have the three lugs in the centre and as dogbreath says, they are a little too close together for my liking, but would also be too wide for legal rims and would hit the springs/body more.
There ya go, how's that for a definitive answer ???

thats exactly what I was looking for, so what size rims do I run on the 11.5's? 15 x 7's or 8's?
