I have the 3" Calmini and 2 " body with 31 Bighorns on -23 offset rims.

they fit just fine but I've since found out that some very light massaging will be required to clear them when it's all flexed up and when reversing on full lock.

With 6" lift, well personally I don't see a need for that but yes you would be able to fit 33's

I think you'll find that the width & offset will be the biggest issue with the 12.5" wide 33" tyre, calmini do suggest something along the lines of a 32x9.5 or 33x9.5, but high & low range gearing will need to be addressed.

Not going to fit much with out a bit of trimming 2 guys in my club run 33 bf with 3 in body lifts. ones a 2 door ones a 4 door
Any rim with a neg off set will make it hard to fit any thing bigger with out lots of trimming because the larger scrubradius makes ur tires hit the fire wall
235 on 0 offset rims just touched my firewall when turned on my car when I got it
U can push ur wheel base out which helps heaps
