I doubt it, I think they are too wide, and will rub on turn. 285/75/16's usually rub a little on stock 1500's, and that is narrower then the tire you mentioned. You will need at least 2" lift in my opinion. But maybe others have done it and can chime in.

I'd have to agree with Silver_Dodge here. Much too wide!

A 305/70/16 is only 12" wide and 32.8" tall, so the 33x12.50 17" will not only be taller, but still wider. I'm sure it will rub without some lift.
