Default Easy tire question

Hello everyone,
Great site with lots of good info.
Our 4 door X came with 32 X 10.5 tires on 17 X 7.5 wheels.

The tire , Wrangler SRA 4 ply tread, 2 ply sidewall. Great on road, not so much off road.
Have my eyes on Toyo A/T 33 X 11.5, 6 ply tread, 2 ply sidewall on the same wheels.

Only 1" wider and 1" taller, so no rubbing with no lift, Right?
I'm guessing no one has this setup, but if you have 33 X 11.5 on 17 X 7.5, could you post some pics?

Much thanks
On edit:
The Toyos are listed at 33 X 11.5 as measured on a 8.5 wide wheel. Since mine is 7.5, that means same width on the ground, but a more rounded sidewall, right? I realize these are small differences, just want to know what to expect before I lay down the $$$.

FYI - The FAQ for newbies lists the optional X wheel at 16 X 7, but it's really 17 X 7.5
