Help Question: 97 4Runner Wheel Offset and will these take-offs fit my rig?

I have an opportunity to purchase 5 of these 17" take-offs, the guy believes are from an FJ. Year of wheels is unknown.

He has 265/70R17 on it right now.
We measured the off-set and it was 5 inches.

My current wheels are OE and came with the 265/70R16 (which I know was one of the two optional sizes for the 4Runner.

So my question is, with a 5" offset and the current tire size, can I mount these directly to my 3rd gen without a lift or spacers.

The only reason I am considering these wheels are:
1) $50 for 5 tires and wheels. Tires are in good shape and will get me some extra miles so I can spend that $ on brakes, and some engine stuff.
2) I wanted black wheels and they are steel and the center caps actually look good.

He bought a old truck he is restoring and they used the take-offs as roller wheels. I figured I can't go wrong for $50 bucks for 5 wheels + tires. I just want to know if they will fit.

The size converts to 265/70R17 = 31.6x10.4R17. Which if it is true, I am currently at almost 30" with only 2/32nd's of tread left on my front tires.


Your help and advice is greatly appreciated!

Just my opinion but the first wheel pictured is pretty crappy looking. It looks like something that would be on a boat trailer.

I'd paint the OEM one satin black and call it a day.

Also next time tell the balancing guys they are not allowed to put weights on the outside of the wheel. That is a sign of bad tire shop.
 
Thanks SCRunner12.

Hey BrianSD_42. Well there was a miscommunication for the wheels. He meant $50 each not for all 5. So on that note, I will be painting my rims. Something like this below (but in black):

I didn't put the weights on the outside of the rim. That's how I bought the 4runner. I know better. I worked for Goodyear and Firestone.
