yes i know every vehicle is different, and yes i've looked at the tire chart. I just want to know if i will have a clearance issue up front. currently i have a 3.5" spindle, and a 2" TT....so 5.5" lift total up front (the rear i know will fit) i was looking into a 33x10.5" tire, yet i have found that only Swamper or BFG makes 'em and it's just too much money, so i think i will go w/a 33x12.5 obviously. the spindle gave me a prerunner stance as is, the 235/75 tires sits even with the Eddie Bauer fender flare, so the front sits about 2" wider on each side than stock....too make a long story short- w/a 3" wider tire will i have any rubbing up front that a lil' trimming won't fix? keep in mind that this is on a stock 15" rim.
 






I wouldn't run them on stock rims, I'd get 15x8s, and yes they'll fit with some minor trimming.
