33s will rub if you don't trim, yes.

it depends on the backspacing of your wheels. I have 32s with 3.75" backspacing that don't rub and tires that are about 29" that do rub

Going by your sig. If those wheels are AR-767's your BS is 4"
Yer gonna rub.
Get out the saw

....even with trim, rubbing the LCA's at full chock isn't out of the question.
3.75 BS would be desireable.

something most forget to mention is that if you go with a 33x10.5 you will have an easier time making them fit...... that is with stock, or close to stock, rim width and offset.
