33 12.5 15s on 15x6 inch rims?

They might it probably would be up to whoever was mounting them, you really want a 8in wide rim for that wide of a tire, I have my drag tires setup on 15x6 ford rims and the guy had a hell of a time mounting them, but the sidewall was alot smaller and they are not as wide.
Your tires will not be riding right and will wear wrong, if it was just for mudding I think if they mounted them then go for it but you said alot of street driving so i would try and find a more suitable rim,

I was running 15's on my 2wd and had nothing but problems. There is a reason these trucks came with 16's, the calipers and tie rod ends were rubbing the inside of the rim. I know your truck is 4x4 and the wheels your talking about are alot narrower than mine were so it may not be a prob for your but you may want to look into it.

The issue here is not the 15" rim, the OP isn't even asking if they will fit on his truck. He is asking wether a 12.5" wide tire will fit on a 6" rim. Honestly I doubt it, I used to work in a tire shop and that would be a PITA to mount if it even went on. Get 8" rims at least for that wide of a tire.

Rule of thumb is a wheel should ideally be 3-4" narrower than the tire, although a half inch or so either way would be ok.
