Wheel Spacers? and Tire Fitment
1st: What is the smallest rim width for a 33x12.50x15?
2nd: I have a 1985 4Runner and I personally think that I need wheel spacers atleast for the rear, would that look weird if I only got 1" wheel spacers for the rear?
3rd: i am thinking about going with the Maxxis Bighorn, any input? I really want a MT that is 11.50 and not outragiously expensive! Thanks guys!
Any other improvements you would like to suggest will be greatly appreciated!

improvements list is endless 
Armor (sliders, front and rear bumpers) Dual Cases, 5.29's, ARB front and Rear, 37" Irocks, Full cage, Rebuild your front end. etc etc
the Maxxis Bighorn is a very popular tire in the PNW. A fellow wheeler has 35's and likes them on his first gen (1980)
What is your reasoning to run them only on the rear? I would not put wheel spacers on only the back, I run 1.5" spacers on my '81. Keep the F/R track width the same.
I run 33x12.50's on an 8" rim. I have seen them on rims as narrow as a factory 7" wide rim. To me it looks like the tire might be kind of ballooned in the middle.
