Default Should I take these free wheels?

Recently I have been considering replacing my oem 19” wheels with 20” wheels.

My friend offered me a set of 20” gram lights that he originally purchased for his gtr.

My main concern is the fitment.

First they are a different bolt pattern, 5x114. I was considering using a bolt pattern adapter.

But what concerns me most is the size of the width of the front tires and the offset (9.5, +25)

Taking these wheels would save me some cash but do you guys think it’s worthwhile?

Here are the full measurements
Fronts: 20inch,Size 9.5,+25 Face-2
Rears: 20 inch, Size 10.5, +20 Face-2

While gram lights are definitely some nice wheels, it doesn't look like the offset will work with the F-Type. Stock sizing that I can see is:

Front: 9 wide ; 55mm offset
Rear: 10.5 wide ; 38mm offset

You'll need an adapter (15mm) for the wheels which would bring rear offset to +5mm which is going to stick out way too much. There's no way the fronts are going to work as well since that's even further from stock.

+1. Those wheels have no chance of working.

No chance of working on the car. For free, they might work for something else. A coffee table? Maybe plant stands?
