16" GXL rims won't fit an early 75 (pre 88? Big diff model) - from memory the inside of the rim contacts the TRE. Not sure about the later models...

Yeah i can't see any reason they wouldn't fit the rear. There was about 25mm interference against the tie rod end - i.e. the 9" 80s rims have the extra width (over a toyo 8") on the inside (extra backspacing rather than offset???)
