Yes. 15x7 works too and will hold a bead better if you air down. You can
fit 33x10.50 on your stock 15x7 with just a little rubbing on the lower
control arms when steering hard over. Easily corrected by adjusting
steering stops. If you get new wheels look for 4.5" or 4.75" back spacing.

Also, with the 4.5" lift you'll need to trim the fenders a bit and
remove the plastic crap that hangs under the front bumper to clear
33x10.50 but you can retain your stock flares in the stock position.
