Question About 33" Tires

Question About 33" Tires
Hey everyone,
I have a 1992 4x4 that is at stock height that currently has 32"x10.5" BFG M/Ts on 15" stock rims (came this way when I bought it). The rims are in bad shape and I was thinking about getting some new rims/tires. Other than some rubbing on the control arm when nearing the steering lock points the current tires don't catch on the wheel arches or anything. I was thinking about getting 15x7 rims (offset of -6mm and 3.7" backspacing) with 33x10.5 BFG A/Ts. Any reason that this wouldn't work? Would there be any advantage to going with 15x8 rims? I was also planning to get some spacers to reduce the rubbing on the control arms.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone have a similar set-up and some pics?
Thanks!

From my other searching it sounds like there are variable stock ride heights. If its helpful here is a pic of my truck with the 32s on it.
She's a bit rough, but I'm working to get her back into shape.

I ran 33x10.50 BFG AT's on stock suspension for a couple months before I put a leveling kit on. They rubbed a little on the radius arm at full lock but I wasn't too bad. Honestly though, the leveling kit was the best $50 I've ever spent on the truck. Changes the look completely.

These are my 33x12.5 on the stock 7.5" rims. The rubbed like crazy in the radius arms
With the new rims they didn't rub at all

What is the make and model on those rims? They look really sweet.

Did any of your guys have any drivability issues after going to the 33s? I have 32s now so I don't imagine that there will be much different. My truck is an I6 so its not the most powerful beast out there. I just don't want to put some nice wheels/tires on it and have it drive like *****. At this point its basically on the road 95% of the time, so off-roading isn't really a concern.
Thanks
