I think Phil used to run that setup. He called them "skinnies"

Be careful though. Most 33s are 33x12.5x15 and won't fit a 6 inch rim. However, I ran the 12.5s on 15x8s with neutral offset and no lift with little rubbing only on sharp turns over bumps. (SWB 3.0 V6 Auto)

When I had 31x10.5" tires I ran them on the stock aluminum cast 15x7" rims. No lift at all and no modifications necessary. Performance was reasonable (I have a 2.6). Now I run 33x12.5" tires on 15x8" rims. I put them on right after I did a 2" body lift. The bumper end-caps had to get trimmed (I just removed mine altogether but shortly after I got a Don bumper) and the splash shields at the front of the front wheel-wells had to be bent forward slightly. Recently I put in a 2" suspension lift and I have GOBS of room (enough to squeeze in 39s!) so when I wear out my 33s I may move up to 35s.

I am running 33X12.5 with no lift or trimming, All though if you articulate in a turn,(Wild Off road bumps and ditches,Which you said you don't do that sort of thing right now until you get another vehicle) then you have no worries,I have even pounded my monty into the ground with those tires and it barley rubs at all, it's really not even worth taking the time to trim... I went to a tire shop in town (A Ma And Pop place) I got 33X12.5's for $85.00 a piece and the size rim I needed for them for like 50 bucks a piece, they were not aluminium of course so you will add a bit more weight to the vehicle with the tires and steel rims.

Honestly mine would only rub During a sharp AND a good size bumb, But never just turning sharp!

Nuetral Off set in the Bomb!! It looks great too, If you dont run fender flares on your monty then you want to keep as much tire under the wheel well, I have a nuetral off-set running 33X12.5's and they barley stick out of the well, I think they look awesome! If you stick'em out any further I think(My Opinion) looks goofy!.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
