yes they are 5 lug.
5x 114.3 = lugs x bolt pattern
i dont know if thats the right bolt pattern for a gen4 but i know it is for a gen3 . they will fit mine. most likely they will fit.

Gen 3, 4 and 5 use 5x114.3.

You need to find out the offset also to see if they will fit your Camry.

The offset is the distance from the rim's mounting surface to the centerline.

i just saw i the back of the rims it said : germany, 17x7 and 38 so i hope the 38 is the offset and hopefully will fit fine on my 2000.also what is the best for look and performances size for the tires between 215/40/17 or 215/45/17 i really want to stay away from 205 cause to low profile and have bad experience in the past!

Yup, it will work on your Camry.

Sounds like 38 is the offset.

You got your tire terminology all mixed up.

1st number = width of the tire.

2nd number = aspect ratio. Its a percentage of the 1st number (width). So 215/40/17 = 40 percent of 215.

3rd number = diameter of tire.

Use this calculator to figure out what size tire you need:
