Well 4x114.3 Stud Pattern is fairly common, Non-Turbo Skylines & Silvias, VR4's use it as do any other cars, but all these cars use a offset that is way too high, most 17x7 wheels come in a offset of around 38-47. Wheels are available with lower, but you're limited to only a few styles.

Probably the best way to get the wheels you want is to get some custom bolt on spacers made up, like on this KE30 http://toyspeed.blakjak.net/profiles/profile.php?id=917 Only thing is that they do require a certification to be legal

Just go to a engineering firm and get them made, that way you can get any thickness you want. Otherwise i think you can order them through some tyre dealers, i know Firestone in Christchurch can get them, or else GT Motorsports in Wellington. Other option is to watch on TradeMe, because they quite often come up on there

Please, if you're gonna do chrome, get deepdished wheels...I've seen flat faced chrome wheels on DX's, and it just doesnt look right.

Those Vaults will look Phat as Hell! Just be aware that even though they're a RWD offset, it may still be slightly too high for a KE70. I think the offset on those DTM's is +20, which may still need a 5mm-10mm spacer.

i had 14" mesh rims on my one, and um had 55? profile tyres on from memory. cleared the bottom of the spring housing up the front but certainly not by much aye.

id watch out for that with a bigger diameter rim, because i dont know that you get much lower than 40 profile without going a lot wider than the 195's i had
overkill
