2015 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4, leveled. Will 33x12.50 R20 tires rub? Or will I need some spacers or something?

Will rub the sway bar at full lock.

What tires? Find a size that's 33 x 11.7ish and run with those.

285/60R20 is a 33.5x11.5

295/55R20 is a 32.8x12.2

12.5 is wide as hell. Get some metric sized tires that work out to 33" OD on that rim size and they'll probably be a good bit narrower and clear easier.

10-4. Found a good price on some couragia m/t's and my buddy loves his. Been spending too much money lately so I'm not going spend 1800 on tires right now

Like everyone else said. Get narrower tires.

...unless you have fender flares. People without fender flares that have wide tires are the worst kind of people.

12.5 tires will rub most of the time on most trucks. Unless you have aftermarket wheels with the correct offset or spacers.

Just found a good deal on that specific sized tire. I was curious. Thanks though.

Well, you're stuck with the rubbing then, because all the make is a 12.5 width on a 20" rim

Yeah. I'm looking at it now and I feel like I'd have to put a half lift and light bars with tires that wide.

They might even rub your UCAs. Get some narrower tires.

I've never dealt with 20 inch rims before, they came with the truck. Guess I'm going get some different rims too.

This! I am running 295/55/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on stock sierra premium plus package wheels. Started off with Bilstein 5100 at highest setting and did not like the ride or stance. Dropped the Bilstein to stock setting and added the 2.5 RC level and rides much better. My tires still slightly rub the sway bar at full lock but no rub on the UCA.
