Hey guys Im looking for some pics and also feedback of this idea. I want to upgrade to 33 MTs once my stock ones go but I don;t want the hassle form the dealership of lifting it to fit them so I was thinking of no lift and getting high clearance flat fenders.
Does anyone have any pics of these? I know some guys are running 33s with no lift and stock fenders but I don't want any rubbing at all.

You will rub with a wider 33x12.50 if you have a BS of less than 4.5. I did not have any issues on the pavement but where I rubbed was on the rear fender flares at full flex and disco'ed. With flat fenders you will be fine even disco'ed and full flexed.

No 5"BS you should be fine not rubbing on the stock flares your tire/rim will be closer to the suspension components. With a 4.5" or less would be example: 4.0 or 3.75 BS which pulls the rim/tire out from the suspension components and sticking further outside your flares.
With the tires sticking out further and you flex it is difficult for that tire to stuff under the rear flare and will rub. This is where some people chop the stocker flares or get the aftermarket flat flares.
With a 5" BS and wider tire you may have some rubbing issues steering lock to lock in the front end.
