Yes
Have seen a dx with them and some 235x85x16 tyres,(no flares) can also fit 255x85x16 m/t bfg or similar which is a skinny 33 inch tyre. It looked good aswellwheredayathinkwer mike?

the only diffrence is that they are a 7" rim instead of a 8" ,. which is only a problem when wanting bigger rubber

As far as I can tell the answer to this question is yes...and no. The rims fit perfectly
well and are much better suited to say a 235/85 x 16 than say the skinny 5.5in split rims.
The trouble is are they legal? If fitted to a dx which comes standard with 5.5in split rims then you are increasing the wheel width by more than an inch. Not sure if this is legal. If it is a GXL then this is not the case and it should be OK Doesn't make any sense but that is my understanding of it.
Maroondah tyres were selling Prado rims (new) for $45 a while back.
