I'm going to be replacing my approx. 10 year old bf. Goodrich at's with ridiculous amount of tread on them,maybe 2000 miles at most. I have a set of 5 stock rims that came with the truck and I kinda like stock hubcap look, anybody have any opinions on the pretty much only 9.5" out there. I really liked the AT'S but nows the chance I have to use the rims.The rims I'm using now are chrome wagon wheels and look a little to blingy.
I know a lot of folks run them on stock rims even though Kendra says 7.5" rim width with 6.0" minimum and 8.0" maximum. This means the tread will be bowed so a lower pressure will be required to get maximum contact patch. It also means your safe operating range will be reduced as you won't have optimum bead contact area.
If you are comfortable with this and take it into account when you're carrying family and friends what can I say. I just think you'd be better off with a tire size for the factory 5.5" rim width or selecting a rim that is properly sized for the tire size.

Stock tire size is 235/75/15 and thats 9.3" wide. Id say the 30x9.50, 31x10.50, 33x9.50, and 33x10.50 are the most common sizes run on FJ40s since they have been around. I think its safe to say you are totally fine running a "9.5 inch" tire on the stock wheel.
