Do you want to stay within the legal tire specs? then I think the biggest tire you can put on stock is a 265/75/16. Our trucks recommend using the "E" rated tires since we can tow a lot. But I have a friend who has put on 305/75/16 D rate without a lift or leveling kit. He tows a 5000lb gooseneck without any problems. Now what I have done is put on the 8" rims and put on the BFG's 295/75/16 which has the same load rating as the "E" 265's. I bought the wider rims just for the recommended tire size. I tow a total of 15000lbs loaded gooseneck horse trailer. So I would recommend getting the wider rim (got mine off ebay for $375), but you don't have to if you are not towing a lot of weight.

Personally, I wouldn't go bigger than a 285/75/16 on the stock rim. Anything larger than that and you are well outside of specs for rim width according to most tire manufacturers.

Heighth wise, the 33's will fit with the levelling kit, but someone else will need to chime in regarding the potential for rubbing with that width.

I have a friend running 315/75-16's (35x12.50) on 16x10's with just a 2 inch Jack It leveling kit. It looks great.
