I'm thinking they are metric, where your 90 model is SAE.. I would measure the stud spacing very closely..

I'm not gonna say they won't work, but will be surprised if they do..

They will NOT work. Your bolt pattern is 8 on 6.5" with about a 4.5" back spacing the wheels in question are 8 on 170mm and they have about 6" back spacing . So even if you got them to bolt on the truck they would be tucked under the truck like a rail road truck and rub the leaf spring and reduce the turning radius. You could always buy adapter/spacers to make them fir but i would not recommend it
