Nope, definitely won't fit on a 1500 with only 7" of lift. If you want 12" wide wheels you'll need smaller tires or if you want 37's you'll need a narrower stance.

How bad will they rub?? I have minor trimming or would a body lift do the trick?

You'd have to do a significant amount of trimming; more than you'd want to do as you'd be hacking up your bumper and fender. A body lift would do the trick though to get you the additional clearance you need.

For comparison, I run 22x12's and 37x13.5's on an 8" lift on my 3500 which is equivalent to about 11" of lift on a 1500 and I even had to trim a bit of plastic to avoid rubbing while turning sharp.
