You can get a good idea as to what wheels fit but simply looking up the bolt pattern. As far as JDM, the bolt pattern basically keeps you from doing anything truly JDM as those wheels are all pretty much 5 lug. American Racing makes a lot of good wheels, if you just look up the bolt pattern on their site.

Probably not exactly what you were looking for, but these are the American Racing ones I had on mine.

There are ways of doing lug conversions. It's a little bit custom, and may require a little bit of fab, but for a JDM 5 lug setup you can use some parts off of the Datsun cars like the 510.

You can probably use an adapter from a chevy truck or toyota since they all use the same bolt pattern. As far as the rims you want, they do make them in those styles in the right bolt pattern, just look them up for any GM or Toyota truck and make sure the offset is right for the Nissan...

after a couple of minute of research i found

http://adaptitusa.com/6-lugto5-lugadapters.aspx

i think that will be the best. 99$ per adapter not that bad .

i hope at that price it safe ?

what do you guys think ?

Those type adapters will work and they are the good ones, as long as they're installed correctly they won't break. It took a while to find what these are made of but it says they're all made from 6061 T6 aluminum which is plenty strong enough, the ones you want to avoid are the ones that are cast aluminum as those type are only good for show cars that are never driven aggressively.

I also bookmarked that site so I can get me a set when it comes time to change out my rims and tires later on... Those are also the best priced ones I've seen that are actually strong enough for reliable use.
