Could be wrong, but, I think your cars stud pattern is 4x100, those wheels are 4x114, so won't fit.

Being a 1991 and looks like a face lift, it probably has a 100kw smallport 4age.

And yes you would be looking for some 4x100 +40 offset. Max of about 7inch wide else it'd probably hit the rear struts.

Also being a facelift it probably won't have any rust problems.

Depending on tyre width I'd say they are almost 100% likely to touch the rear struts.

Why not go to a wheel shop and get one of those wheel fitment brochures? Then you can buy off trademe once you know what will fit your car.

15's > 17's

tyres are cheaper, so you can put quality rubber on instead of dodgy taiwan rubber. plus they are light as hell and cheaper to buy too. also you can put a tall profile rubber on so you don't buckle the rim when you hit potholes and makes a much nicer ride.
