They will fit. Depending on what backspacing your rims have you may have to trim a little.

they will fit yes, but you will either rub when turning the wheel at full lock, or when flexing out on the trails if you dont trim. i ran this setup for awhile, hell with wheel spacers and no trimming i even rub at 6.5"s n 33s

Estimated 4.5" of lift. I haven't measured it since I raised it from 3"
33X12.5X15 Duratracs on 15x8
I had to trim quite a bit but mostly because the PO didn't do it correctly when he put the flares on.
