A land cruiser bolt pattern is 6x139.7mm (same as 6x5.5). You have to find if the chevy wheels you are considering is the same bolt pattern. Beyond bolt pattern you also have to consider wheel offset and backspacing. A 94 OEM alloy wheel is 0 offset with 4.5" back spacing. Back spacing is important as you have to allow for brake caliper clearance.
I know this is another question rather than an answer, but you should probably verify if the '94 80 requires a 108mm center hole for the hub. I know that some of the earlier 80 series used acorn nuts & appropriate wheels which would seem to indicate that those wheels were lug-centric, but I don't know if the hubs are the same size as the later '95-'97 hub centric wheels. I believe that while Chevy and even some of the late model Toyota trucks use the same bolt pattern, that their hubs are smaller, so many of those wheels would not fit the LC without machining.

thanks for chiming in guys. both valid points/thoughts. i've measured the center bore on the wheels and it looks like they are large enough to fit the LC. and the bolt pattern is the same. but as khoi mentioned, the real concern is the back spacing. i didn't know what the offset was on the oem wheels so that helps a ton. now the question is, how much positive offset can you go before you start rubbing on something.
You can counter the effect of positive offset wheels with spacers. I won't get into whether you should or shouldn't use them, or what could or could not happen to a buss-load of nuns here, you can find plenty of that sort of discussion if you search for spacers. A quick search turned up this thread which has some discussion about what the OEM backspacing is, & how some individuals used spacers to mount wheels with different backspacing/offset.
