I got my 28x11.5 to fit without much headache. I don't see why a 28x12.5 wouldn't fit. You'll need to do some work to get them to fit though, but I think it's possible

Well you have to do different things for both the wheel and tire
Wheels will require grinding the calipers and caliper brackets. The way I did it was I removed the caliper off the brackets, then grinded the brackets first, and test fit the wheel to that. Once they would free spin with no resistance (resistance being the bracket catching the inside of the wheel) I put the calipers on and grinded them to be even with the brackets. Using that method on both calipers, I was able to get the calipers grinded correctly on the first try both times. Put some kind of visible polish or cleaner on the wheel, that way you know where you need to grind. I used a metal cleaner that was blue, so it was easily spotted
As for the tires, I had to unbolt the bump stop, and then grind away where the "bracket" was for it. I also had to take a hammer to the lower fender on each side, the side closer to the front of the car. Some people prefer to roll the fender with special tools, but I honestly did not care, since you NEVER see where I hammered. Even if you're under the car, you usually can't tell unless I point it out
