Question about rims

I don't know if I should post this in this forum, or in the 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy forum.

My truck has the solid style rims. Yesterday while off-roading, I broke the valve stem on one of my front tires. A friend had the steel wheel spare off his '90 Toyota (it held air long enough for me to get home). If you notice, the offsets are way different. When I tried to put that rim on my front axle, it wouldn't go because the tie rod end & mount was in the way, but it went over the rear brake drum just fine.

My lead in question is, is the offset on a GM steel wheel set inward like on my aftermarket rim, or set outward like on my friend's Toyota spare? My main question is, how does an GM steel wheel fit around the tie rod end?

I also included a pic of how close the tie rod end is to my aftermarket rim.
