I prefer the narrower rims on that wide of a tire. My best friend in Tucson had 33x12.5R15's on 15x12 rims. The footprint was awesome and they looked nice, but he blew a bead airing down to 7psi. Meanwhile I run 33x12.5's on 15x8's and have no qualms running to 4 or 5 psi on the trail.
This friend also had lots of scraping on rims as well as the tires didn't stick past the rim edges much. My tires stick way out, and protect the rims. I like it, but it's a personal preference really. You'll be fine with your current rims Joe. Can't wait to see those tires on your Jeep. That will be sweet!
