They'll fit, but they'll looked stuffed in there. They will also rub on turns. Not sure on backspacing.

Eh, I think 33's will fit on stock wheels.

285's are a good bet too.

285/75 basically ARE 33's.

They are slightly smaller.

And surprisingly, cheaper.

For this purpose, anything within a 1/4" doesn't really matter.

IIRC, 32.8" vs. 33" No biggie.

I have 285's, but No lift. I only have the ORE, which correct me if im wrong, but that's 2 inchs? They look pretty good, fill everything out. They don't rub, but I have about an inch of clearance at full turn.

on my buddys truck we did 305/70s with 2 inch spacers. 315/70s wont work with the 2 inch spacers, it would rub on pinchweld.
on a side note with a 3 inch level kit i hope you have a adjustable track bar. you dont have to regear either 3.55s are doable.
