Currently I have Falken AT 285/75R16, they came with the truck when I bought it. I have very little knowledge about tires. I'm guessing that what I have are not 33" tires ? What would you guys recommend ? How much of a difference between 285 vs 33" tire is there. I saw online they sell jeeo tires that are 32" for 17" rim set of 4 for about $400-500 because there's so many jeeps on road. Mass produced. Don't know which route to go. I need new tires soon. Was also looking at Mk level 6 rims. Do they clear tundra brake upgrade for future ?

since your truck is new to you ... is it lifted?
post a picture.
You have 16" wheels right now. Are you ready to buy 17" wheels?
16" wheels go with 16" tires. Personally I prefer 16" wheels but many of the newer cooler Toyota wheels only come in 17".
285x75x16 are 32.8" tires for a 16" rim.
If you have 16" wheels I would consider going with:
285x75x16 (32.8")
255x85x16 (33.4")
265x75x16 (31.5")
The stock size for SR5 or Limited is 265x70x16
I like the General Grabber AT2 285x75x16 from TireRack.com
You can get them to your house shipped for between $700 - 750 depending on the sale. No tax. Go to TireRack.com look them up and check out the industry surveys (not same as a reviews)
TireRack.com also has a sale on some General Tire Arctic Winter tires for like $120 a pop. Those have great surveys as well.

Just buy the Level 8 MK6 from "Discount Tire Direct"
---> Home - Discount Tire Direct
I paid $550 shipped for mine and that was to California.
I ended up selling them and keeping my 5-stars. Why? Well because I can repaint my 5-stars easily and scratch them up on the trail without worry. The MK6 are a beauty but refinishing them would be a huge PIA.

did you use the calculator i posted?
It explains backspacing.
Yes a 33 can fit.
I'd suggest you read the tutorial link I posted. There are threads that explain in great detail what tire sizes fit.

Level 8 MK 6 -10 offset With Tundra Brake Upgrade
Level 8 MK6 with -10 offset. 285/70R/17 Toyo At II's. Check out the links [MENTION=65101]BrianSD_42[/MENTION] posted. 285/70R/17 are the same height as a 285/75/16. Both are 32.8" If you get the Level 8's (I assume you mean Level 8 MK6) you don't need wheel spacers - I don't want to put any any undue stress on my front suspension and I don't want my tires hanging outside my fender flares. (It's all a matter of preference and what you do with your rig) Be sure to go with a -10º offset and no problems with the Tundra Brake upgrade. The only time you'll ever notice the difference between the 17" and 16" wheel is mostly on the highway during those windy days. A 17' will give you a bit more stability. I'm on the highway about three days a week.
Forgot to add the price - $1534 for wheels tires and Gorilla ET's at discount tire. Mounted and balanced. Lifetime balancing, rotation etc.

I have the 16" Level 8 wheels, in a -6mm offset. I have the same Falken Rocky Mountains you do. They clear the Tundra brakes, and do not rub on 3" of lift.
I ordered from Discount Tire Direct. Called them up, they gave me a deal since I was ready to order. Free shipping and no tax. Took them to a local Discount Tire and got free lifetime balance and rotation.
