Yes you can fit them without a lift and yes there will be rubbing. You can solve the majority of the rubbing with a goos set of wheel spacers from spidertrax or terraflex. you will still have some rubbing at full compression though. Your probably better off spending the money for a simple BB if all you want is 33"s. You can pick one up for about 100 bones.

BB 1.5-2" $100
1.5" Wheel Spacers $200
33" BFG Krawlers with no rubbing Priceless!
