3-in. BL = 33x12.5's?

I have a 1993 4runner with 3 inch body lift. i am looking into getting new wheels and tires soon, and was hoping to get 33x12.5's. but im worried about rubbing.

wheels im looking at have 3.625 in. backspacing. heres the link: pro comp alloys

anyone have a 2nd gen runner with 3 inch body lift and 33x12.5's?

should i get bj spacers to prevent rubbing?

33x10.5x15 wont rub on a stock 4runner. if you already have a body lift then youll be fine with the 33 12.5 15 please search a bit more before you post most times the question has been asked

Yes, it will probibly rub a little at full lock. I ran 33x12.50" BFG's with my steelies with 3.5" backspacing with a 3" body lift, and I had some rubbing. Since the wheel sticks out so far it contacts the pinchweld. You will need to do some trimming or bending with the BFH.
I run bj spacers to help reduce rubbing on the road. I will only rub at full compression and full lock now.
