I'm looking at gett some new boots for my swb Mav, it has a 3 inch spring lift and 2 inch body i was wanting to get some 35 simex's but i'm not sure what width i should go. 10.5, 11.5 or 12.5. Will the wider tyres rub more?

with wide wider tyres you will get more scrub but you got to think on what type of terrian you will be driving before you decide width

Depends on what rims you're using? Different rims have different offsett and can decrease or conversely increase the rubbing.

simex
