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

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.

Man I'm glad I don't have a needle dick and have to fret over this kind of stuff. God speed to you all.

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.

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

Only during "lock" turns, will they rub. I don't mind it, that's the size I run, hadn't had any issues yet...
