stock 60/2 wheels are 15x6. you can run a 33x9.5 with no issues, alot of guys run 33x10.5 but thats the MAX width.
here are 33x10.5s on stock wheels, personaly I didn't like the way they handled
So I went to a 15x8" wheel, with the same tire
Before I had 33x9.5's on the stock wheels
and the fj62(on the right) with 33x9.5's on stock wheels, no lift
IMOP 33x9.5 is perfect on the 6" wheels.......but like I said alot of guys run 10.5's

Landpimp, those aren't 33x10.5's again on your 60 in the last pic next to your 62, are they? They look a WHOLE lot wider in the last pic than in the second. for reference. I have the tire dilemma too
Pimp... those do look skinny in the 2nd pic and wider in the last pic. I am not calling you a liar by any means. You are the man.
I really like the look of those skinny tires. I have no reason to figure snow into my daily routine, and I think the skinny tires look great on a 60.
I had 33 x 10.50's bfg all-terrains on stock FJ60 rims for 1year...no problems what-so-ever. IMHO 9.50's are too narrow for such a heavy truck.

I have five stock wheel in very good conditon I need to sell that I ran 31x10.5 with stock springs for awhile. I like this size tires on the stock springs.
Don't forget about gearing.
I would not run 33x 10.5 with stock gears if you do a lot of offroading. It is better on the highway if it is flat, but you come to a hill on the highway people will be honking at you going 50. Then again Iowa is pretty flat.
After putting 32x11.5 on my 60 with stock 3.7 gears, I didn't like the loss of power on the hills.
Something also to consider first.
goodluck

I have my 37x12.5R15 on the stock rims which are 15x7. No problem at all. I personally would prefer to have them on a 16” or 17” rim since I get a lot of tire deflection while driving aggressively on the street, but nothing to bad.

Narrow doesn't play as big a role in weight carrying capacity as sidewall strength does. The weight rating on the 9.5 tire is good for a combined weight of 10,140 lbs, more than most of us will ever carry.
Stepping up to the 10.5 gets you 260 more lbs total capacity on four tires. All things considered, that isn't much.

What is the final concensious? Will 33X10.50's work with stock rims on a stock saggy 1982 FJ60 suspension?
yes, but they will rub on more extremem articulation, especially with saggy springs. 33 tall will work fine. i say go for 10.50s if you are intent on the. i personally would do the 9.50s though. just me.
let us know what you get and how you like it.
