NOT SO.
The standard tyres for a '1200 Ute' were 6:00x12 & they measured a nominal 574mm OD. The rears might have been 6 ply while the fronts would have been the regular 4 ply.
Passenger model 1200's had 6:00x12x 4 ply's as standard too, & the radials were an extra cost option, but they were not available for utes, at least not in the 70's as the requirement was for a 'light truck' tyre & these were not available in 12" sizes for quite a while.
The cross ply tyres were also much cheaper than them new fangled radials & one of the big selling features of the ute was its low price. Radials, when they eventually became available, just drove the price up.
The road wheels were a 12"x4" j or JJ.
The wheelbase for passenger models is 90.6" according to my 1972 sales brochure & I think that Utes were the same.
My conversion quackelator calls it 2,301mm
