Consequences of running 33x12.5x18 on stock 7.5 rims?

I'm set on getting Toyo M/T 33x12.5xR18 which will be mounted on stock rims. Does anyone know what the consequences of running these tires on my leveled 2wd truck? I really hope that my rims are 7.5 wide and not 7". I'm not sure if they are going to fit without rubbing, no one has ever giving me a staright answer and would like if maybe I could get one now before I order them. Again what are the consequences and will they fit? Thanks.

They should fit fine with a leveling kit. You'll wear the center tread down faster running it on a narrower rim. Lots of people are running this setup just fine.

x2 and wouldn't run the pressures any more than 38 to help minimize the center wear and yeah your wheels are 7.5

I agree. If you install a 2 or 2.5 inch leveling kit, you can fit 33x12.50's using your OEM 7.5 inch wide wheels. Running a tire on a narrower than recommended wheel can cause the center portion of the tire's tread to wear slightly faster than normal, similar to running too much air pressure. For daily driving, I'd recommend 35 to 40 psi.
