What are disadvantages of 33" tires on 15" wheels, aside from tire availability? I'd like to use my period correct wheels on my FJ40.

Thanks for your input.Thousands of 40/55/60/62 enthusiasts run the 33x10.5x15 BFG AT or MT with no problems. The BFG tends to run a bit small compared to the other 33" tires out there.
Dealing with issue re wheels, tires, and lift. If one desires 33 10.5, what wheel size is best and are lifts required? Is there an alternate size tire, easier to find and buy that looks similar to 33 10.5's. Was looking a 5.5 but issues seem prevalent . thxCan't speak to all brands but you will likely have trouble finding tires that are 33" in diameter designed to run on the narrow factory wheels.

I run the General Grabber X3 in 33x10.50x15 on 5.5” Toyota wheels. They measure right around 32.5” tall on those wheels. Pics for a sense of height/width View attachment 3133489View attachment 3133491
I like them, not much besides pavement and some logging roads so far. They aren’t overly loud and don’t induce any odd driving behavior. I chose them over other options mostly because they were the closest to a true 33” tall tire. I believe they’re about an inch over the BFG in actual height when mounted.This is what I did with my Pig - looks good. I am on the center of the tread at 40PSI. When I run lower pressure the tread use evens out, but handling feels different.
How do you like that tire?
Looks good!
I bet it costs a LOT less than BFG options...
stock height no lift kitJust mounted klever m/t 33/9.5 great looking tire . rides great....
