Will 33x12.50x15 duratracs on 15x8 rims fit with no lift?

The tires will fit the wheels but backspace determines if it fits your jeep. 4.5" ~ 3.75" backspace (lower number means wheel is tracking wider) is ideal.

Are these particular wheels going to clear your calipers? There's a Discount Tire thread regarding this.

If you go with a skinny 33" or 33x11x15, and the wheels clear the calipers, then you may be ok with no lift. Possible rub at full lock on front control arms that's correctable by adjusting steer stops. Basing this on Stock Wheels since I'm not aware of 15" aftermarket wheels having the same backspace.
