Further on down the line, if the film funding gods smile on me, I'd like to
put Michelin 7.50 x 16's on (either XZL or XZY) but not knowing anything
about Toyota's I have no clue what the original rims would have been on the
HJ60 - can you get simple old fashioned steel rims for it?

Darrin, welcome.
Can't help you much with the rim issue, my 80 runs on 16 inch steel
split rims, but they are apparently part of my military spec to allow
the tyres to run flat in an emergency. But luckily I don't get
involved in too many shoot-outs ;-)
As for Michelins. If you want to commit immediately, COSTCO are
running a 20% off Michelin offer for every 4 tyres bought till 31
May. They only trade in Michelins from stock and they do stock 15 and
16 inch 4X4 tyres. Any tread pattern they do not have in stock will
be acquired within a day. They already have low prices and the extra
offer seems good. You are in the London area and it might be easy for
you to go to their Watford head office depot alongside the A41 near
the M1 J5 Watford turn. (Also at Chingford & Thurrock though). If
you are not a member then I can meet you there and you can use my
account - but you can't use a credit card. I need to go there in the
very near future so it would be a good fit and I am not far away from
Watford - even this weekend. You can find them on the web and give
them a call to find out what they are offering. (They also trade
BFG's and a limited range of others). If you want to do it then hit
me off-list or call 07770 43 10 43.
