Re: Tyres
What size wheels have you got?
What off set are they?
Did you move the axles forwards / backwards when you did SPOA?

Re: Tyres
You want wide tyres for 10" rims or they may come away from the bead, especially at low pressure, and leak air or even worse completely deflate.
12.5" is a good width for the rims but it really depends on the type of terrain and driving you plan on using them on.

Re: Tyres
I swapped wide track axles onto my 413 which came with the same width axles you have, because the narrow track axles meant my 31's were rubbing on articulation (especially on the back). I have 8J's with 31x10.5's.
Depending on the offset of your 10J's, you might run into the same problem - in fact, the balance of probabilities is that your wheels will go outwards 1" more than mine and inward 1" more than mine, so you're more likely to have the same problem.
It's not by any means sure (you might have 2" more backspacing than me, in which case you'll probably be fine). I'm not the first person to swap SJ413/SJ410 axles for Samurai WT axles.

Re: Tyres
On 33 12.50s you will have tyre rub on 410 axles against the springs and chassis. I get a bit kn my Samurai axles.
A lot of us had tyres from 4x4tyre.co.uk.
As Dan says on 10j rims you need a 12.5 tyre. The rim is actually closer to 12" edge to edge.
