you wot be able to fit them. you will rub on the lower control arms and 10.5" wheel you need atleast an 8" wide rim, a 12.5" tire is recommended to have a 10" wide rim but an 8" wide will work. but the stock 7" wide rim will not

If you can live with 33 x 10.5 -15's then run them in stock 7" rims. No problem of the width of tire to the rim. However, you will rub inside, lower control arm at full turn. So for the backspacing resolve with 1.25 spidertrax, qualtiy parts for about $140 w/tax delivered in about a week from Qtech.
Always put a new valve stem in when mounting tires.
That is what I would do.

I've seen 33x12.5's mounted on stock ecco wheels but the guy rubbed pretty bad on the sidewalls i guess. I'm sure they would have some funny treadwear being mounted on a 7inch rim also.
