They will fit, but you will have to hammer in the pinch weld. i have 32x12 with no rub, any bigger and it would rub a little.
But the question should be, what is the number of bolt holes in the rims? How low are the PC Xterrain's worn out? 400 is a steal of a price!

they will rub so bad with a 15x10 wheel and do you have a 22re with stock gears? the pinch weld is near the fender meets the body search around lots of info on this-

just use bump stop spacers. and pound the pinch weld. no problem.
had an 85 with the same tires and wheels. rubbed when cranked and flexed, but not horribly

i ran 33x10.50's and i smoked my clutch and cracked the flywheel (real hard to get moving on a hill in 1st gear) and your truck will be slow as shat with out gears.

BJ spacers will help to fit tires on road, but off road, it won't al all because the the position of the tire is the same when compressed.
You're nuts to think you can turn tires that big with stock gearing and the 22re. I have 31x10.5s and its pretty bad already. Can't imagine having 33x12.5s. Expect to get horrible mileage, like 14mpg.

the only reason im thinking of doing it is because the wheels and tires are cheap. i'm not worried about mpg, just want nicer tires. i havean 05 636 to go fast and get good mpg and a 00 celica gts for good mpg.

Again, if you pass them by, let me know. I already have 33's on the truck (well the frame), with stock gears and a 3.slow, but the tires aren't gonna last (dry rot). But I've also got an 06 GTI, and it came with a fast.

Go ahead and get em but know that they will rub.I have 33x11.50x16s and they rubbed like hell on the pinch weld, so I pounded that. They rub a little bit on the upper control arms, but it's not terrible. A full inch wider would definitely have issues, especially on such a wide rim.
But get them anyway, fit them up and see what improvements you need to make, and go from there.

definitely get them if they are a good deal. just put in some spacers for the bump stops till you can lift!!!!
and I run 33s with 4.10s no problem, I dont know how you could blow up a flywheel....
