the 15.5 might be an issue on a t bar crank. Depending on the offset of the rim. Not sure anyones ran a tire that wide on a 33 with t bars, not that ive seen. Thats a seriously wide tire for being a 33. Might not get full turns out of it. I Think 33x12.5 or 35x13.5 is a nice looking tire if its not crammed under there.

So are you asking about fitment with, or without the BL?

W/O the BL, you can fit 33s with T-bar cranked.
W/ you can clear 35s.

With that wide of tire though, I think you are gonna rub at full lock with both.

Really? Never heard that. Everyone always says 33s max.
(Bigun being an exception of course.)
