Yes, they'll fit. You should even be able to get away with the stock wheels. They are 1/2" shorter than what you have on there now, and about an inch wider. But the extra width will be split to both sides of the wheel. 1/2" on both sides.

Will it affect my speedo or make my jeep lag at all?

Assuming your stock tires are 32 and you are going to 33s I would say your speedo will be off but very little. maybe 2 mph... as for lag, should not be much, if you are not running a tuner you may want to... that will readjust your speedo and give some performance back...
