Using tyre data for BFG MT, the OD for a 33 12.5r15 is 32.8"

The closest metric sizes are 285/75r16 at 33.1"
Or a 305/70r16 also at 33.1"

my 265/75/16 is same as 33/12.5/15,within 5/6mm,on the overall height both are here on our discos, and both are mt bfg's.
different brands vary a lot! so be careful.
12.5's are 315's in metric
beteroff just buying another steel 15 and having the same tyre as the others.
