Will 33 in tires rub on a Tacoma?

We first fit the 33s on our 3rd Gen Tacoma without the use of wheel spacers. The rubbing on the body actually wasn’t that bad and you can drive on them with minimal contact on the fender plastics; however, once you turn, the tires rubbed incredibly bad on the upper control arms.
