Default 33" tire question?

i have a 00 1500 5.9L, and I gotta deal on some American Racing 15x10 r15 Outlaw rims. I ordered some 33x12.5 tires, and I wanna make sure I can mount 'em up without any problems. I'm trying to avoid getting a lift right now, I just had to have the tranny rebuilt...any help would be great!

i think certain 15 inch rims made of certain materials rub on certain Ram brakes............... but i dont think its likely. just keep an eye on it.

I know on my 01, to fit a 15" id have to grind my calipers. Ive talked to people at every offroad shop ive been at and they all say the same. 15"s will fit, but if you have the same setup i do, you better expect to get out the grinder.

My set of Amer. Racing Black steel wheels from my Jeep are 15" wheels and fit onto my Ram fine with no rubbing on the calipers. So there are some that will work with no modification. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

it depends when they went to the dual piston caliper up front. i'm not certain, it was either 2000 or 2001. the DP calipers rub on certain alloy 15's
