Tire size and pro comp wheels?

So I'm getting a 3" Toytec spacer lift, diff drop, and rear AAL this month but I can't decide what size tires to go with. I've already pretty much decided that I want BFGoodrich All terrain but I don't know if I should go with 32x11.5 or 33x12.5. I'm mildly concerned with gas mileage and power w/o regearing but mainly I want it to look right and fill the well. So I'm just wondering what people with similar setup are running and how they like it.

Also for wheels I'm considering some pro comp gloss black 15x10 alloys. They have 3.625" backspacing. I'm wondering if this is enough BS for the tacoma and whether they'll clear the calipers. Does anyone run these wheels or something similar?

I had both sizes on my last taco with a 3" Toytec lift. The 33's looked great but they killed my gas mileage, rubbed offroad even after flattening my pinch welds, and they bogged down in 4hi in the mud. The 32's looked fine and didn't rub at all. If you don't plan on regearing, go with the 32's. I went from 15mpg to 19mpg when i switched from 33's to 32's. Not sure about the wheels but if you decide to go with the 32x11.50's you might want to consider 15x8s.
