Bolt pattern is correct, but the offset and back spacing are wrong. Judging from the specs you're giving, those wheels are for an '88-'98 K1500/K2500 light duty 4x4, or a '99-'14 1/2 ton. They might also fit on a Colorado/Canyon.

Just wondering if I used 1/2 " spacers or even 3/4 do you think I could use these wheels ????

You would need something more along the line of a 1 1/2"-2" spacer to allow for proper clearance. For tires, with them being an 8" wheel, you'll want to go with at least a 225/75/16.
