I would go with something with about 3.50", that should keep them from rubbing and allow them to stick out a little, I wouldn't get to crazy with backspacing anything less than 3.50" will cause your ball joints and wheel bearings to wear out quickly, the 15" or 16" will look and work nicely, personnaly I like more rubber than metal on the off chance of something hitting my rims while offroading

If you are set on 33x1250 with only your body lift, Im thinking of more offset in order to prevent fender clearence problems. Although 15x10 inch rims are not easy to find other then 3.5 inch offset. I would rather try 4 inch which is easier to get in 8 inch wheel. With 16 or 17 inch rims, most of them are 8 inch at most. Also note that an 8 inch rim would pull the whole tire into the truck about an inch compared to 10 inch rim with the same offset. (Yeah, I know the 10" just looks better on a 1250 tire.)

A question tho.. Why are you considering 33x1250? For the height, the width or both? There are 33x1050 and 31x1250 (325-60-15 etal) that would more likely fit... Just a thought...
