Default Toyo Open Country M/T size?

Ok, heres the deal..... Im due for some new tires asap. I plan on buying the Toyo Open Country M/T. Heres the question now.... Can I buy these in the stock rim size? or do I have to buy a new set of aftermarket rims? I've read great reviews about the tire itself it you just have to keep it well maintained. So i've decided to go with those and thats my problem. I just need to know the tire size that will cause no rubbing at all. I don't want to deal with that ****.

Thanks in advanced.

-Erik

P.S. I tried looking in the search function but I came up short just found out other sizes and not what I personally was looking for. I have an ugly iron rim on the truck now cause my back left tire blew up on me on the highway. The steel belt broke within the tire. So I need to know the sizes asap. Sorry for the longs post.

looks like 33x12.50 is gonna be the closest to stock, same height just wider you may have to run spacers to clear suspension

So do i just let it rub? or is there a possibility that i can get the tire less wider. I just want the stock size, meaning height and width, just with a new brand tire.

you can do it with another tire, but if you want that toyo it will rub. And there are alot of guys running spacers without issue! It is no different than getting an offset rim and wide tires, same wear and tear on parts. just my .02
