They look like freestyle alloys. You will be fine on a 90 but for reference they are not weight rated for a 110. I think they do not fit without either using spacers or modifying the hub/wheel. I believe it is the thicker drive flanges, and the rear drums which make it problematic but they can be made to fit.
I am sure someone who has actually fitted them will be along shortly, I have steels on mine!

Cheers for that Dag.
It has a lovely little set of white steels at the minute, but it will be used for bezzing around the fields by my 20 year old lad as well. Alloys are his first tweak.
If it is going to be used off road I wouldn't be fitting alloys. You cannot straighten an alloy you have bent off road by hitting it with a rock!
If you want larger rims you could consider HD (sometimes refered to a wolf" rim) which will be the saem size as the alloys, or modular's can be had in any size.

You must do some serious off roading to bend an alloy
I've never had any issues in all the vehicles I've got muddyI haven't managed to bend an alloy, but I have bent a steel rim. I came down onto a rock and caught the edge of the rim putting a nice big kink in it.
Another plus for steels as far as I am concerned is I can then change my own tyres. It is very difficult to change an alloy wheel with leavers without damaging it.
