Exclamation HELP! Tire Rubs!

I put 33x12.5xR15 Cooper Discoverer ST's one and on the passenger side it hits the fender when I turn right but when I turn left it clears the driver side by at least an inch.

Does this mean my alignment is off, or does this mean one side is settled more and I need to do a lift?

If a lift, what type (body, suspension, or Add-A-Leaf), how many inches, and where is the best place to get one?

Yes it's on my K5, and I haven't done any lift, and I have considered cutting them, but I don't wanna unless I absolutely need to. I think I am going to get an alignment anyway because I haven't had one since I've owned it, if that doesn't work and I don't wanna lift it, I will just cut them.

Its been freezing on me too.

Well, I just decided to cut the fenders because with winter around the corner I dont have enough time or money to get it done. Pictures are on my profile if you wanna see.
