Default 33x12.5R16 on stock rim

I am looking to install a 2 inch lift and i'm wondering if I can run 33x12.50 on my stock rim without rubbing? I am looking to save a little cash by doing this...

You'll need spacers.

without spacers a 12.5" wide tire will rub, alot of people run 285/75R16 on the stock wheels without spacers.

They'll rub your fenders off road, flexing. Chop your fenders and they'll work.
