Still may run the pinch weld but you can pound that flat if need be.
Why dont you just get a 2" suspension lift with balljoint spacers up front and land cruiser coils in the rear and find rims with less than 4" of backspacing? 3.75 backspaced rims and fender flares will allow you to run 33x12.5's with a 2" body lift with ease, no rubbing, nada but a suspension lift is better. The backspacing acts like the wheel spacer.
What do you wanna do? Do you want a true lift or do you wanna be a mall crawler?

Ok here is what you do:
Find some landcruiser coils for the rear, that will give you 2" of lift in the rear.
Get some BJ spacers for a 1.5" lift up front.
Then get a 1-2" body lift
Then a set of shocks for a 4" or so lift
YOUR SET! This will allow you to run the proper tires and rims, and it will work offroad really well. Its also a really cheap but effective setup.

you'll get more than 2"s with cruiser coil, but bj spacers and tbar crank will even it out... one thing to consider if you are actually gonna cross some ice is tires that will accept studs... I mean cmon we live in canada dude.... you could be running 35s with 95% tread and I could have bald summer tires from a tercel that have studs in em and I will haul ass around you... maybe not in deep snow but still.... go to a tire place and ask cause different rubber compounds make all the difference along with tread design and as I said,... big metal spikes ...(plus it looks sweet)

Ugh, ok one more time......33x12.50's on stock wheels with the proper stock ride hight will be just fine. I know for a fact that if you had searched I have at least three threads posted in about this.
I ran a BIAS PLY 32x12.50 on the stock 7" wheels on my '94. NOTE a 32" bias is extremely close to a 33" radial in diameter yet the bias is wider due to the nature of the belts. I had ZERO rub and ZERO lift up front.

I'm running 33"x12.5" Herculese MT's on the factory rims on my Runner (stock). I have yet to hit the pinch weld, but in the rear I've hit the sheet metal quite a bit...

Wow!!
That looks mean. Is that picture with factory coils in the back? You mentioned that that it hits in the back, therefore, I assume you vehicle does not have aftermarket coils.

I am defintely going with 33x12.5 for sure. Looks just right.
Any chance you might have a side view pic of your 91? I would like to see it. Thanks.

As for functional - not yet... Haven't decided on how I'm gonna keep the crap (sticks/leaves) out yet... Maybe some expanded mesh on the underside of the hood that I can remove to clean it... But still not sure...
Side view.... Yep.... This is right after I painted it...
Here are a few others..... Here's a year later.... Don't mind the crappy patch on the rear quarter... Just a qiuick patch job...
