Stock 18's to MT Classic Lock 17's

I have a 2005 Lariat Scab 4X4 & just purchased a set of Mickey Thompson Classic Lock 17x9's with IROK 33x13.5017R's. I'm installing the 2.5" leveling kit in the front.
Question: Will I have any rubbing issues / ball joint clearance issues / brake caliper clearance issues?
The MT Classics have 5 1/2" backspacing. According to the Mickey Thompson application guide, the 17x9's are supposed to fit. Additionally, MT advises that their 33x13.5017R ATZ's will fit the truck with a 2" body lift...so I'm guessing I will be OK with the leveling kit.
If anyone has knowledge, please impart some...

They should fit, if they will clear the brake calipers. It was sometime during the 05 model year that Ford changed the brakes, causing fitment issues with some aftermarket 17 inch wheels.

Ive got the MT Classic Locks 17X9 with 33X12.50 tires on with no fitment problems. You shouldn't have any probs with the 33X13.50's.
