33x12.50's fit on a 3rd Gen?
I'm fixing to drop $1,500 on tires and wheels can i fit 33"/12.50R18 on a 02 4-runner with a 3" front coil lift and 2" rear OME coils, and 1" body i have 285's now but will these fit, i want bigger tires, the wheels are 18x9's with 4" of backspaceing.

the height is going to be very comparable. I am assuming you have 285/75/16s? if so, you are going to be a little wider with a 12.5 inch tire but you should be alright with 4" of BS especially on 18x9s

I had...
32 x 12.5 inch BFGs on a Tacoma with a 3" suspension lift in the front and 0" in the back. Not sure if that helps, but 4runners and Tacomas are pretty much the same height and sounds like you are putting and extra inch, but that you have an extra inch. FWIW, on my ride, the 33s would have rubbed.

You'll definitely need a little spacer to clearance your upper a arm.
Here's mine with a 3" OME lift. I was rubbing really bad till I trimmed the plastic inside of the fenderwells. 305/70 r16 mickey thompson baja mtz

Looks great what size spacer did you add, because i was going to buy new wheels with 4" backspacing but maybe not since u used stock wheels. Do you have any more pic's of your ride i would really like to see them especially of the front fender behind the tire for clearence.

Isn't a 12.5" the same as a 315 size tire?
I would think 12.5's would be rough without at least trimming/pounding the pinch welds.
305's will fit with minimal rubbing, that's what I run.
I think most 3rd gens run 285's.

is that 3" lift the one from toytec for 4-runners, b/c thats what i have, also by trimming plastic on the inside of the fenderwells do you also mean the bottom of the fender flares too. Also does it rubb on your frame.

Yes a little bit on the flare. No frame rubbing but the tires wouldn't even fit without hitting my upper a arm without my spacers
