They should fit but they may widen the track beyond legal limits. It all depends on the back spacing i.e. the distance from the inside edge of the rim back to the centre where they contact the hub.
I have some 03 Hilux split rims and 05 one piece steel rims. The 03 have a back spacing of 115 mm while the 05 are 135 mm. The 05 wheels on my 03 narrow the track by about 30 mm making them unsuitable even though they fit perfectly and clear everything. I maybe wrong but I think the 80 series wheels are a lot less than 115. If that is the case they will place the rims further out. Measuring them is the only way to be sure.
If you find they are not suitable then a custom wheel manufacturer should be able to move the centres easily. My 03 splits have the centres welded to a wide flat section in the centre of the rim. There is plenty of room to move them further in. I would imagine the 80 series are much the same.
