Default Any issues with rubbing on Upper control arms?

Hey all! Just signed up tonight and super pumped to hear what everyone has to say. I just installed a 2.5" leveling kit on my truck. I want to know if I put 33x12.5x17 on my stock wheels, will there be any rubbing on the control arms or shocks in the rear. I've heard that the bead may have trouble seating but I've heard it's rare. Want to hear what you all have to say. Thanks again!
