You shouldn't have any problems wither 33's. What diameter rims are you running now? Some models won't take 15s as they wont fit over the brake caliber and rotor
That's quite an offset on those rims for sure

Just be careful with big offsets also - changes both Ackerman angle and scrub radius. Ackerman will potentially cause wobbles at speed, and scrub radius will (definitely) excessively wear the leading edge (inside and out depending on which way your turning) of the tyre.

I'm running 33/12.5/15 Hankook Dynapro M/T's on a series 1 standard suspension height, at R/H full lock with the tyre tucked up into the guard the tyre does rub a bit.
From memory the rims are a -23 offset what people seem to refer as a Landcruiser offset, the edge of the tyre sits outside the flare a bit too.
I think 15x10 would be a bit of overkill for 12.5 tyres, the tyres bulge out nicely when aired down i ran this set up on an old 60 series cruiser on plenty of offroad trips rock, mud sand etc and never had a problem. I had the same size M/T claws before these tyres and they were more like an 11.5 wide tyre.
The 15x8 with that offset is a very common rim over here and they are cheap $55 each.
I can take some pics tomorrow if you want to see them on the wagon?

Ackerman angle, this is a first for me Scotty, can you enlighten me mate. Could this be the infamous death wobble your speaking of.
