They will fit, but you are taking it to the limit.

I'm running 33 x 12.50 x 15 Pro Comp Mud terrains on factory rims on a 2003 Sahara, have noticed a little leaking but seem fine.

I've never understood the principle of this question.

You can probably fit a 44"X18" tire on a stock 15" rim, is it going to work?

NO

Go to a tire shop or look online at the tire manufacturers specs for the tire you want and it will always have a fitment guide for tire to rim. If the stock width doesn't match what the book says, don't bother.

A 32X11.50 BFG all terrain says an 8-10" rim. I think jeeps come with 7's as the widest.

I used to sell tires for years, you will not get the performance or life out of the tire running it on improper size rims.

It's up to you though. As a kid I did all that stuff, trying to do stuff on the cheap and I am tired of it, it makes more harm than good.

Another thing to look at is a braking upgrade, with tires that big it's time to think about someone spiking the brakes in front of you in traffic, will you even come close to stopping? I find my TJ's brakes are a little weak with the 30X9.50's that are on it. Thank goodness, I'm not a hypocrite, book says 6.5 to 8.5"; I have 15X7.0's, had to run check just to make sure. Anyway, my Toyota I had when I was 18 had 33's and I stopped 6" shy of a minivan, I had lots of space, but not enough brakes - scary stuff.
