Default Will 20" wheels with 33's fit on a lifted Gen2

I have a lifted 2000 Dodge ram 2500 and a smoking deal on some 20" 8 lug wheels and 33's with good rubber. Will they work in place of my 16" wheels. Here is the Truck

Can I make it work with the addition of a leveling kit? That's a Ford Explorer on the other side of the truck.

33's would fit with NO lift. The 2500/3500 trucks sit a couple inches higher than their 1500 brethren in any event.

There *might* be some fitment issues with the center hole in the rims not being quite large enough. Test fit them first, (front and rear) before shelling out the cash.

I got them today from one of the superintendents at my job. They look great and have lots of tire life left. Even if they don't fit properly I shouldn't have a problem getting my money back, I only paid $600 for all 4 wheels with tires.

Update: I measured the center hole of the oem 16" wheel and the center hole on the new 20" wheel is bigger by about a heavy 1/8". I also measured bolt holes across from center to center and it looks like I'm golden.
