Its going to rub the fenders no matter that you do.
You are going to have to trim the fenders in the front behind the tire close to the door to turn the wheel.

I trimmed mine back to where the edge of the flair is. Not where the stock flair dirt line is, but where the stock sheet metal "flair" becomes just flat fender. There is plenty of space now on 33x12.50. Before trimming, i could only turn the tires ~25% of the way to lock. Although im not sure this applies since my axle is pushed forward 1-1.5"
