Front tires rubbing

Hey
Ive lifted my 92 toyota pickup with a 1.5 bodylift
I have 33 x12.5 tires to put on,
currently I have a pair of 33's on that are a width smaller and they still rub,
I know when i put those 12.5's on there gonna rub like crazy.
Can anyone suggest if I should get wheel spacers, or special rims.
If so what kind of rims, what kind of wheel spacers?
Thanks Id really appreciate any help

I believe a 3.75 offset may help you a little, but you're goina rub... take a hammer to your pinchweld at the back of the wheel well, that should help a little, and reduce tire punction or damage possibilities.

Here are some pics and descriptions of what I did.

The more the offset (less backspacing) the more you will rub.

If you mod your fender wells like I did you might be Ok since yo already have a body lift. I plan to install a 1" to help with the last little bit of clearance.

good call frank... i forgot the 3.75 is only necessary for spindle lifts where ball joint clearance becomes an issue if you run a wider rim...

I'm running stock which I believe is a 4.5" back spaced 7" wide rim.

Stock IFS wheels are around 4.75" backspacing, at least that is what I measured on this steel rim:


I assume the alloys are about the same.

The OP failed to mention if he was running stock, or aftermarket wheels.
