Yes kinda, usually. They rub on some a little on no lift
Try this thread. Start on page 91 and work back, some of the old pictures are gone

Rubbing most likely with stock height
It can be done, iirc @500$k5 is 33's and stock height, but some suspension mods.
What wheels are you planning to use ?

How will my K5/truck look with xx" tires on xx" of lift?
It's about time to start one. Rules 1. Post pics on level ground, suspension at ride height 2. If you have a flex shot showing clearences, post if you feel inclined. 3. Any lift is ok, just post what it it (shackle flip, blocks, springs, zero rate, longer shackle...) 4. Post...

I have the same question as I was considering using the stock wheels with BFG KO2’s in 33x10.5x15, “eyeballing” my truck looks like it could fit fine for a daily driver
What is best way to determine “stock” height? I am not sure if mine was modded or started to sag. I read that ~8.5” measured from top of axel to frame in the front?
I suspect a wheel well to ground is too inconsistent for measuring the same point and tire variations.

Stock wheels, 33x10.5r15's clear the front with stock components.
Only place Ive ever had them rub was in the rear if I really stuffed a tire into the wheel well. Top inside edge of the tire would lightly scrub the "inner fender". You have to try fairly hard to do that.
I went with a wider rear axle eventually so that completely eliminated the problem. Maybe a 1/2" spacer if sticking with the stock rear axle and rubbing ends up an issue?
Btw, been running this size for probably 15-20 years on the same rig.

Ran 33x10.5x15s with stock suspension for years on Mdjunior’s ‘09.
Mall crawler status only, but never rubbed.

My old k5 on 33x10.5 15s. This is after it was sold and repaired. The springs were slammed wore out. I just bought some new springs and Bilsteins for it.
Putting them on the burb now
