Any chance these steelies would fit an fj60?

Saw these listed for sale nearby, not sure of the backspacing, wondering if any experts on here could tell if they'd fit an fj60 just off of the photo. thanks!

You can measure the back spacing and depending on how close it is you may be able to use spacers if needed
 
I feel like those are trailer wheels with the letter “T” in front of the size (15x6) like that.

Highly doubt that. The stamp on my OEM fj60 wheels start with the same "T" mark. In fact the whole code is identical except the date code on the end of my wheels is "7 85" since its an '85 fj60. I'm guessing these wheels are stock Toyota wheels off something from '87.
 
It looks like those wheels have a pretty high positive offset, so I'm guessing that your backspacing is going to be pretty close to 4", which is unlikely to clear your steering gear etc. As others have said, assuming the center bore is correct, you might be able to get them to fit with spacers, but depending on the price of the wheels, by the time you add the cost and hassle of spacers, you might as well buy wheels that fit properly. New OE wheels are not crazy expensive. You could also look at the 16" City Racer steel wheels which are relatively affordable.

T is generally just a DOT rim profile. JJ is a bead profile. It was used on nearly every ford and GM car and truck in the 60s and 70s and probably still used.
The Chevy truck rims of that era looked very much like those but although the bolt pattern was the same as Toyota, the center hole was just a
tiny bit smaller. Before there were axle builders, in the early 80s, like Diamond and full float cruiser axles available her, I built a couple full float rears by
grafting 1/2 ton chevy outers, spindles and hubs to 40 housings.
