Question Any Suggestions on Wheel/Tire combos?

Hey guys... I'm getting ready to buy new wheels and tires... ... so, basically, I want 33x12.5x15, or 32x11.5x15. All I've driven is motorcycles, and I'm not real familiar with car/truck tires. Would those sizes fit on the stock rims? My 4Runner has 31x10.5x15 Duelers. I am usually on road but want to get to doing more off-roading; I've been thinking about REVOs, but really like the BFG T/A KO's. I'd really like to hear about any suggestions and personal experiences that you guys have had... Thanks!

I second Lamm's suggestions but I'd like to change the "AR" to more of an "A/T"...

Just messin with ya Lamm.

The BFG all-terrains are a great all around tire...I had the older generation of them when they were just called the BFG A/T Radials and loved them. These new ones are supposed to be even better!

Whops, AR must meen "Always Read your post before looking like an idiot.

Yeah, ATs are sweet, they kick butt in the snow too.

Tight, that's all I wanted! Thanks! Yeah, I love the BFG AT KO's... So, the 33x12.5x15 BFG AT KO's will fit on any 15x8 rims? That's good to know! Thanks again!

15x8 is an ideal size for them, offset is the only concern then, just stick with what you have or go around 4"

This image explains the properties of a wheel. I forget where I got it, so I apologize and will remove it on demand if it is yours.

Also guys, don't but I think what you mean is 4" backspacing. Won't he need a lift to run a 33x12.5x15 tire? Or will 4" backspacing take care of this? What is the backspacing of a stock wheel? I have a 3.125" backspacing and my tires stick out about 2", and it does look like I might be able to run a 33, so I just thought I'd ask.
