33s will fit fine and look good with no lift, a leveling kit or even a 2.5" lift. Add 1-1/2" wheel spacers to improve the stance. Or 4.5" backspace wheels if replacing.

You might have to do a little bit of trimming, but probably not. If the plastic air dam gets in the way, just remove. It is a piece of junk. Bear in mind that most 33s tend to run small. The OEM Rubi 32s tend to run big.
