Help me out guys-I did a search but didn't find difinitive info. What are the biggest tires I can fit on the stock aluminum rims? I have an '02 Runner with SAW up front and OME HD out back.

I have a few considerations though:

1) The absolute least amount of rub. I mean, if it only touches when at full lock and bouncing hard I can live with that. Or if only slight modification will get me there that would also be ok. And by slight I mean bending out-of-sight panel seams or such, no trimming of shiny sufaces.

2) I don't want them too wide so that I end up with mushy handling from ballooned sidwalls, but I do want them a little wider than the rims so that they hit the rocks before the rim does.

I know I can get 33x9.5x15 on, but a tire this narrow makes me worry about rim damage. I'm fairly certain a 33x10.5x15 will also fit with better rim protection. I think 33x12.5x15 would be too ballooned on my 7" rims and would probably rub, so a 33x11.5x15 should be perfect right?

So does anyone out there know who makes a 33x11.5x15 besides BFG ATs? I'm hopping to find a tred pattern that is between BFG's AT and MT. The Pro Comp MT looks like it would fit the bill if it came in a 33x11.5x15.

Thanks everyone,
Tim
