You won't fit 33's on the hilux unless you have at least 2-3inch lift and a bullbar
I'm currently running 32's 265/70/17 0offset with out lift and without bullbar scrubs just a little on hard turning even with the front mid flap removed
Liftkit gets fitted end of this week so that won't be a issue anymore

Suspension "lift" does NOT determine if a 33" tyre will fit or not. All it does is help to make that tyre fit at a "static" height.
with or without a lift, your suspension will compress the same. The lower bump stop is the determine factor to how much your suspension will compress. Pointless making a tyre fit when your parked in your driveway, and as soon as your suspension compresses, you carve into your fender and/or destroy your tyre.
Two things are pivotal to tyre fitment....
1. Wheel size and offset for the tyre size your wanting to run
2. A "proper" wheel alignment, utilising replacement upper control arms in order to gain more castor than the factory upper arms allow which helps move the hub position that little bit further forward.
Factory specifications for a wheel alignment are just that - factory for a standard hilux. that wont work for a modified one. Which is why you need to take it to someone who knows what they are doing in this regard.
as "fully hektik" -25 offset "dish" looks on a wheel, it will take a huge amount of work to get it to work properly.
Wider offset/track equals bigger scrub radius......typically for a 285 33" equivalent tyre, you should run a P10 offset, I wouoldnt reccomend more than a P0. coupled with replacement upper control arms and a decent alignment.
done properly, you will keep that size tyre off your bodymount on full compression with wheels turned slightly.
remember, you need clearance if using it offroad with suspension compression and full steering arc, condition you wont encounter in the shopping centre carparks.

The more lift you dial in, the less available castor there is for adjustment.
Thats why Ive decided to keep my lift to just on 2" and work on the alignment and trimming side of things to make 33.5x12x17's work.
Got a few tricks up my sleeve I will also be investigating in the new year to allow me to run even bigger tyres later with the same lift.
