97 Camry with 15x8.5 rims and 205/65R15 tires?

Looking to replace my rims and came across a set of 15x8.5 205/65R15 that came off a Toyota truck, I believe. Would this potentially work or is it too much a difference from the normal 15x6.5 rims people typically use?

^^I was tired leave me alone, it was a long day, and I fixed it.

Anyway the base line is that the wheel will not fit without modifications to the suspension or the fenders. The widest you would like to go is 8 inches with out having any complications. If your willing to buy the wheels, and modify that stuff more power to you.
