Will The Tires Fit?

Actually 33's only give you a half inch of extra lift over 32's. Although 1" taller at any given time half of that increase is above the axle line and does not provide extra height.

 

The width debate is as old as the hills. A common line of thought is that a narrower tread works better in soft stuff like mud and deep snow where digging works while a wider tread works better on hard ground, sand, and rocks. Keeping the above height info in mind maybe go with a 32x11.5 to split the difference? If you need rims anyway you could get some junkyard rims from KJ or something and run 265/75/16's as they are the metric equivalent of those 32's. If you want 33's the 10.5's could be mounted on factory rims which would save some money. Narrower tires also cause fewer clearance issues and may stuff better when flexed.

Too true.  I was thinking of 31's vs 33's.
