33 12.5s on a 2001 taco with 3 in lift

hi all, I've had a 1994 pickup for years now, I just got a 2001 Tacoma for safety reasons and such... I was going to leave the ride stock but my shocks are pretty worn so i figured I would get a lift when I got the frame replaced (labor is covered fyi) I got the OME 3 in lift from toytec (OME-9504TAC) with the 883 front coils, I am now looking to buy tires strictly for off road purposes and was wondering what would be the best fit. I just do your average stuff, snow, mud sand and "easy" trails as this is also my daily, but I already have a set of road tires and I just want a set to leave at 12psi for whenever i go down to whispering pines...(local outdoor club)
I am looking for opinions on any R15 tire i was hoping 33 12.5s would fit, but if there are any good 33 11.5/10.5 tires out there let me know....

yeah, they look like the best bet right now, but i was also considering procomp xterrains however I am not sure that either of the 33 12.5's will fit without substantial trimming... and the 31 10.5 just isnt as appealing...

255/85/16 tires will be the easiest to fit.
Any wider and you'll have to do some trimming in the inner fender well and and pinchweld area.

appreciated, but im not using the stock rims, im using 15X8.5 with 4.5" backspacing, I was hoping someone might know a tire that is still made in the 33/10.5/15 format, which is very similar to the 255/85/16 actual size


ah, I noticed that the bfg km2 is the only "common" tire currently available in this size, I understand that 32/11.5/R15 should fit well, any other suggestions?
