If the springs are in good shape you might be able to fit them with some rubbing. 33's for sure will fit.

I have 12.50 35s on one of mine and they rub on the radius arms if you turn lock to lock, otherwise they are o.k.

just find some different wheels to deal with radius-arm rubbing. Found some stock steel wheels off of an old 80s Jeep, $150, they look sweet and have that shallow Jeep backspacing that make your tires sorta stick out.

Turned in my steering stops crazy far, so now I have an insanely tight turning radius that embarasses most small cars.
