15x7 on 33x10.50? BS and Tire Bulge?

I have been doing some reading on the boards and I couldn't find a page that said the backspacing on a set of stock tacoma rims. I was trying to find a set of aluminum rims in a 15x8 that wouldn't make the 33x10.50 BFG AT KOs stick out to far from the fender wells.

What's the backspacing on a set of stock tacoma 15x7 rims ?
Would there be a lot of bulge when mounting a set of 33x10.50s on the stock tacoma rims ?
How much would this combo stick out on my truck ? I'm going to be running bj spacers and shackles so fitting the 33s isn't a problem.

Thanks in Advanced ... Chris

Good choice on tire size - I am extremely happy with how they look on my '93 4Runner. Which brand did you get?

They don't bulge out much at all on my 15x7 stock rims, and don't really stick out beyond the wheel well, but then my truck came with 31x10.50, so it was pretty well designed for that width.

I can maybe post up some better pix later, but check out http://www.4wheelingoh.shutterfly.com/action
Both the gold Taco (BFG A/T) and the red 4runner (Dunlop Radial Rover RVXT) have 33x10.50. The black Taco has 34x10.50 SuperSwampers (pretty much all the available choices in this size! LOL)

I know a 10.50 wide tire will fit good. I was more worried about the backspacing on the stock tacoma rims making the tires stick out to far. Bascially as long as they are at least a 3.5 backspacing then I should be ok. I'm gonna read up on another thread that I saw started but someone else a couple hours after mine to see what they said to him as well.

I guess I need to learn how to make a title better to gain more responses.

Most of the aluminum wheels are 3.25 backspacing which is the reason why I don't want to buy them. I want my wheels to stay sucked in for the most part. Where are you finding an aftermarket wheel (that's not steel) that's a 15x8 and 4" backspacing? You can find 16x8 rims all day long.
