I see no problem with putting them on a 6 or 7 inch wheel.

I can get a pic for you if you'd like.
Reason for the concern is running too wide of a tire on such a narrow wheel but still wanting something to fill the wheel well. From BFG website comparing rim widths of 9.5 to 10.5 tires (BFG ATs):
33x9.50R15/C rim width:6.5" - 8.5" diameter:32.7
33x10.50R15/C rim width:7" - 9" diameter:32.7
Last thing i want heading down the road is the tire to come off the wheel due to incorrect pairing of rim and tire.
