32x11.50 or 33x12.50 ??????

i did a 3.4 swap and added a 2 inch body lift on my 94 4runner for engine clearance, i bought 15x8.5 centerline wheel with 4'' backspacing and was wondering if anyone knows if a 33x12.5 on 15x8.5 wheels wiil fit without rubbing. i know with a 3'' body lift you can run 33x12.50 tires on 15x10 wheels. i was thinking that the 15x8.5 wouldnt rub because it sticks out 1.5'' less. if i dont go with 33" tires i will just go with 32x11.50 tires and just turn down the torsion bars an inch to make it look a little better. what should i do? 33's or 32's

I think you will be fine with the 33x12.5 with that much backspacing.
I run 35x12.5 on an 8" rim and only had to shave a bit of the pinch welds to stop the rubbing , with the 33x12.5's I had no issues with rubbing on my 4" suspention lift only see if you can test fit a set if your still unsure

I had 33x12.50 M/T on my truck with no lift...well t-bars were cranked a little and I didn't rub. And I now have 32x12.50 BFG A/T and they clear just fine, just backed the t-bars back down to make it purty. I would go with the 33's though, just my opinion.

32x11.50 will fit stock with only minor rubbing so 33's should fit fine
