Need some help figuring out if 285's will fit fine...

hey, as of right now my 96 2wd v6 runner is lifted in the front about 2.5". the rear lift is on the way (2.5 as well).

anyways, i got 15" American racing chamber wheels with 3 3/4 backspace and -19 offset. i want to get some tires put on today hopefully and wondering if 32's will fit (looking to get either BFG M/T or Wranglers M/T's). i did some searching and saw that 265/75/16 will fit stock 3rd gen 4runners, compare that to 285/75/15, the 285 is just a tad bigger in diameter by .2, and 3/4 bigger in width.

so being its just a TAD bigger, i currently run 31x10.50x15 and the tire looks skinny, being with the new wheels and backspace/offset should i be fine running the 285/75/15? im talking about it fitting with the front lifted and back stock. here are some pics maybe it can help.

Id go for 32x11.50x15 for sure... I know 285/75/16 is that in the 16 rim, but, not sure what 285/75/15 turns out to be.

I have never seen a 285/75-15 before, but it would be 32x11.5-15 equivalent. BFG and Goodyear both make the 32x11.5-15.

oops my mistake i mean 32x11.50/15...the 15 dont have 285, its just 32. but i think im gonna hold off on the tires til after i lift the rear. im gonna put on the AR chamber wheels in a few days on the current tires to see how much the new wheels will stick out to know how they fit. but probably will go for the 32's, if i do go for 31's again, deffinately be a little wider.

anyone know a good place to get some BFG M/T in LA area? i read on some forums people get them for 600-650 at tire places, lowest ive seen is about 750 here.
