33 x 12.50 on stock wheels?

I know there a ton of posts on the subject of tires, but I am wanting to put a set of 33x12.50/17 on my stock rims. They are 17x7.5. I don't want to lift the truck if i can avoid it. With these thinner rims will I have problems with the tires wearing out in the center? Are there any problems with rubbing? I have seen people running 315 but it looks to me like that they will rub.

If anyone has a link to this previous foreward it to me. Thanks in advanced.

I have an 05 F-250 FX4 CC 5.4L.

They should fit, my cousin runs 315/75 and he only rubs on full lock.

I figured that there would be clearence but wasn't sure about wear. Any idea on effects of narrower wheel causing center of tire to peak?

The wear should have to do more with tire pressure. I wouldnt worry about it wearing funny at all. I am running 12.5's on my stock rims with no issues what so ever.
