Okay so i was planning on buying bfg km2's 33x10.5 they kick ass and are the perfect size. I relized that i dont have that kind of cash though. 
So i plan on buying treadwrights because of the price but i can only get a 33x12.5 or 31x10.5 . my truck is an 86 all stock suspenion. i have to use my stock rims. I'm not afraid to trim either. I like the height of the 33 but i dont want a wide tire. Plus i'd have to cram it on a stock rim and im not a big fan of the 31 cause it looks small i have 30's on now and they seem tiny. So if you were in my shoes what would you do??the 33 or 31? Help me !!

Why go and buy tires again later when you could use that money on more mods?
I would run 33X10.50-15 but since you can't get that tire in that size run the 33's on your O.E. rims. They won't be as wide as if they were on 15x8 or 15x10.

33x12.50 you'll have to trim A LOT if you use your truck offroad, and the stock rims are too narrow - they will always want to wear the middle of the tire.
Do you NEED tires now? Are they bald, cord showing?
If not, I would save up for the 33x10.50. The BFG AT comes in that size too and is considerably cheaper than the KM2 ... there might even be some old KM's floating around in a warehouse somewhere that I bet you could get a deal on.

PS-But I am throwing on a 4" procomp lift and 36" Iroks soon...

Search high and low for discontinued km's in the 33/10.5 size. I deliver antifreeze to all sorts of places and i found a set for 90 each, beats the projected 165 each for at's that i was going to get when my current ones wear out.

Stock FIT?
Will 33x10.50's fit under a stock second gen 4runner? I'm thinking about getting a second set of tires to run on some aluminum wheels I picked up for free. I regeared to 4.56's recently would like to have the 33's for road trips so I don't have to rev at about 3k to run 65mph....like I do with my 31's on there.
