They will rub on bumps and when you turn will hit the inner fender. You can trim the fenders to get some clearance in front but it will still hit the inner fender and possibly the frame too on full lock. I run 32x11.5 and that's about the biggest you can go without hitting the fenders. If you got new farther backspaces rims it would help but then it will hit the outer fender easier and put more stress on your wheel bearings. 33x10.5 would fit and not rub much but would be pizza cutters on a full size truck.
I have 33"x12.5 on 8" wheels.
On the street they never rub but off road they get the inner fender.
15" wide will definitely rub no matter what wheel you use.
Edit.
If you mean 33" on 15" wheels then refer to my numbers.
A 10" wide wheel will make the tires rub.
Got stock wheels?
At worst, with very saggy springs, 33x10.5R15's (BFG AT or MT) will slightly rub in the rear at full compression, and only on the inner portion of that fender (the inner fender, that is part of the bed), which will just shine the metal up a bit.
I've been running them for ~10 years.
If you dont have stock wheels, all bets are off on what hits and won't with any width of 33's.
People seem to be of the mind that 33x12.5R15 is all that is out there in a 33, and those almost invariably rub. But they aren't the only option in that diameter. Rubbing in the front is always worse than the rear, as the fronts tear up the fender corners, which is what you see. In the rear, the tire doesn't turn, so that's not an issue.

My 33x12.5 bfgs on stock 15x8 wheels never hit.
X2, no rub.
