well that depends on what you want to do. There are street tires, which from the lifting that you are doing I wouldn't suspect you would want, then there are all-terrains, which is what I will be getting, and then you have mud terrains. As for how big you can go, I have no idea how to figure what the widest is possible... wish I did though, but your 33/12.5s should fit fine, don't know anything about your car, but check here:

What are your intentions for your rig?

Strictly off road, Asphalt, or a combo of Asphalt & dirt?

Most run the BFG T/A KO for an all terrain tire.

As far as wheels go, you have to research them, and shop till you find whats right for you.

Stay between 3.5" & 4" of Backspace on the wheels for rubbing issues. 5x4.5 lug pattern.

Steel are very strong and the bead edge can bend on impact, allowing you to bend them back into shape. Pro-strength. Con-kinda fugly, very heavy.

Alum have more style and choice of appearance, but can crack on impact and are rendered useless. Pro- style, light weight. Con-fragile

Tip: Purchase the center caps at the same time as wheels. Pay attention to wheel suppliers type of lug nuts. The EX takes 1/2x20 lug nuts.
