The tire will bub on the sterring knuckle with that kind of tire width and stock wheel back spaing. You could add a set of wheel spacers to alleviate the problem if it is only going to be until you get new wheels.

Depends on which Toyos you'll run. If it's the A/Ts, should be ok (using 'ok' loosely) but still may rub on the UCA. If it's the M/Ts or R/Ts, I'd say no. Those are a very hard and wide 12.5" tire.

I put a 305 bfg on my stock 18. While it looked fine it caused the tires to wear prematurely they are too wide for a stock wheel

I'm running a 6" lift with stock FX4 wheels on 35's and 2 inch spacers. No issues at all.

Rotate them and keep your air pressure right and there really shouldn't be an issue.
