Sounds good. Most 33's are about 32.5" anyway, so that would affect it also. Good if you've figured it out!
I sometimes think that the "myth" of losing a lot of gas mileage going to bigger tires is from people miscalculating and forgetting that. There appears to be a lot of worry about that out there. Typically, though, it looks like you only lose a few percent in most cases. It's not quite the magnitude of problem that many seem to think.
You ARE going to lose SOME, it's just not so dramatic as to be dismaying.
