If I wanted to run a 33x12.5 tire what size wheel would I need? It would be for a 1987 Nissan 4x4.

8 inch wide.

can't say what backspace considerations you need, nor if you can even run 33's w/o interference.

general rule for rim size is 4" narrower that the tire width.

If you have 7" wide rims you might get one mounted to see how it looks. Definately will have to lower air pressure due to the tread "crowning" from the narrower rim.
