I can sort of answer that question! I'm wanting those XZLs as they cost the same as the 11.00R16 XLs in the MVPA deal, but the only wheels I've thus far located(Michelin recommends an 11" wide rim) are the 20x10 from Diamond Racing for $250 each, ouch. The 11.00R16 XL are made to fit the 16x6.5 rim, no additional cost there(excepting tubes/flaps).
I've got 4 Ford AA centers and 4 full wheels. One thing is that the center hole is too small and must be enlarged to fit over the Dodge hubs. There is not a lot of meat between the lug holes and the center hole. Thus crack from the lug hole to the center is a concern. Three of the 8 rims I have are already cracked, BEFORE enlarging the center hole.
Based on this I'd say the Ford AA centers are not a good candidate to weld into new rims for use with such a large tire as the 335/80R20 XZL, they are just too weak.
