It's going to need some trimming to make 33s fit.

You can run them with a trim. I got a friend at was running 33s with just a 2" budget lift on his 95 zj. It all depends on how much you are willing to trim/cut. He cut a lot but, he did a good job on it and it looked really good. The boy he sold it to loves it and has been driving it that way for 5 years now. Be sure to post some pics of it before and after.

Trimming the front won't be much of a problem, it's the rear that you have to be careful with. Bad things can happen fast with a sawzall and no plan.

JMHO, 33s okay, but 12.5s? Awfully big. I had them on my Chevy truck and they were huge! They even rubbed the liners up front at full lock.
