Wrong! They may match the lug pattern, but the Chevy wheels will have a different offset and/or backspacing (than the OEM Toyota wheels). This will result in more stress and wear to the bearings, etc. The tires and wheels will "stick out" more, raising issues in ethics (excess spray on adjacent motorists) and aesthetics (ugliness, IMO).
You can check and compare the backspacing on your existing wheels ans the new/used ones:
