I'm gonna be surprised if you don't rub at full flex. It's gonna look sweet though.

I went from so AT tire to 31" MTRs on my 97 wrangler that I once had. It was like night and day! Those gripped everything including the pavement very well!! If I was in the market for a new MT style, id get them again!

According to Tirerack those 33" Goodyear MTR's are only 32.4, whereas a BFG MT would be 32.8.
It won't be bad, only .6" larger diam than what you have now, and as far as clearance goes .3".
