What wheel offest and stud pattern does the NA have? I have some 17x7 wheels which are 4x100 and 42+ offset. would these fit?

I used to run 17x7 with offset 45 and they scrubbed...
You'll need to lip your guards.

I made the upgrade to the 14\" wheels and never looked back... 17's are too big for a NA if you want to maintain the handling characteristics of your car.

Perform a search and you'll find various threads regarding big wheels vs smaller wheels

get some 15x8 with a 0 offset... then you will be uber cool...

and yes those wheels will fit, but as raymo said..they will scrub. You will need to roll the lip in your guards, or go 15's and be happy with the better handling, and no scrubbing.
