Question 33's = increased risk of rolling off bead when aired down & at 30-35 degree + angles?

I'd like to upgrade from my stock 265/75R16 BFG A/T's ('08 TT w/ TRD rims) to 33's.

However - I had a couple of close calls over the weekend with extreme 30-35 degree side angles. My A/T's were aired down to 16 PSI.

I thought for sure I was going to roll a bead. But I didn't. (Love those BFG A/T's!) But neither was I in a position to get out and examine the tire seat relative to the rim lip to see if I was in danger of rolling a bead or just fretting for naught.

Is there a increased risk of rolling a bead on 33's aired down to 12 or 16 PSI on stock TRD's when tipping past 30 or 35 degrees?

Or is it not a problem and I can upgrade without losing sleep?

Also, what is the maximum width of a 33" I can safely run on those rims at 12-16 PSI without rolling a bead? (Assuming I get a 3" ICON lift and chop the body mounts.)

(And yes, I used the search function before posting.)

Thanks for posting your experienced and expert recommendations!

Cheers!
