As big as you want with the proper offset and the sawzall mod.
Though, With an AAL in the rear, and front i suppose since you're 85, you could easily fit 33's without problem.

On stock wheels (15x6), they would probably fit OK, on wider wheels, likely to rub up front at the back of the front wheel well. Had a buddy who used to run that tire on a set of 15x8 steel wheels and he needed to add a 1" longer front spring shackle to get the tires to stop rubbing. He did not do any wheel well trimming though.

33s will be harder to fit, I had 3.5" lift and 33x9.50s on stock wheels rubbed bad (even w/ trimming):

Took a longer front shackle, 1" body lift and moving the axle 3/4" forward to fix that rubbing issue.

by calling your truck a Toylet are you implying you have a Chevy powered Toyota?

That Runner on 37 is pretty cool. I like the cut job on the fenders. I bet both rub pretty bad when stuffed. haha.

yeah the center point of the wheels looks a little too far away from the body to be "stock"...

on the front anyways... could just have a lift and a bad case of the sags in the rear

I think you may be right, the pickup has no lift though i know that for a fact.
