The "large tire" question is recurrent and has been discussed mostly from the aspect of what can be stuffed in the wheel wells. That is only half of the equation though. With stock 3.70 differentials, tires larger that 31s can really create a dog on hills and long inclines and work against you in pulling power off road. I like the look of larger tires on a FJ60 and if you are on flat ground, you will not have much of a problem. But if you are pulling hills, carrying heavy loads or towing, you probably should re-gear with 33s and definitely should regear wih larger tires.
