Just map your mni152-spm volume to the surface with mri_vol2surf and
--regheader, eg,

mri_vol2surf --mov yourspm152.nii.gz --hemi lh --projfrac 0.5 --s mni152
--o lh.yourspm152.nii.gz

then visualize

tksurferfv mni152 lh inflated -ov lh.yourmni152.nii.gz

I've done this for myself, so you can just download the result (which I have not checked thoroughly) from here https://gate.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/safelinks/greve/mni152.tar.gz
