I believe that most tire manufactures would recommend at least a 15X8 rim for 12.50" tires.   Your stock rims are probably 15X7's you could run a BFG 33X10.5 on the 15X7 rim either an AT or MT.

As Norm said you should have a 8" rim for those 12.5s, you will have to check to see what you have.
The big problem is the backspacing with 12.5 they will hit your LCAs when you turn. If so you need rims with less backspacing, wheel spacers (not legal), or go with a 10.5 tire.
