Honestly, finding some 16 inch wheels would be much better. Then you can run 285s, 32.8x11.5x16's and they fit great.
Any toyota wheel from the late 70's thru about 2004 will fit your truck. Many guys run the newer 4runner or tacoma wheels for that very reason.

To expand a little on what Marc just posted, actually going w/ 17" or even 16" rims these days will also save you some coin. The 32x10's and 33x10's are rarer in the outdated 15" rim size. Heck, some manufacturers don't even start until the 17" rim size these days. Manufacturers focus build supply on market demand, not sidewall benefit anymore. If I wasn't so stubborn about going with factory alloy rims back in October I'd have the size tire I wanted easily in either an inch or p-metric size and have them be around $50-75 less each.
FWIW - I still LOVE my 15" steelies.

I actually thought the same exact thing. I was going to ask what would be an equivalent tire size in metrics for a 16in rim. My uncle has some 16in Tundra rims lying around so I figured I might clean them up a bit and get a set on those and keep my 31" tires as spares.
What tire size in metrics is equivalent to 33" tire on a 16" rim?

Closest to that would be around a 270/80R16 which really aren't made. Also when you go there you're having to deal with interference and offset b/c you're into the 11" width of the "plus sizing rule". If however you were to go to say a 265/70R17 availability get's easier and why I'd mentioned the 32" tire size option above.
Play around with this online tool: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html and then cross reference the size over to here to see your options http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...75&diameter=17 which include the BFG TA/KO, MT/TA KM2, the General Grabber AT2, Kumho's, and Cepek's. It all then depends on what your tire needs and budget allow.
*I must have not seen enough Tundra's either, I thought they were 5 hole?
Older tundra (the none ginormous ones)are all 6 lug like the old trucks.
