i am thinking of getting some p1 racing wheels from ebay: 17x8 in the front, 17x9 in the back. the only problem is that it is 32mm in the front and 37mm in the back. what do i need to make them fit because i have a s14. the 35mm offset. do i need studs for the wheels or what.

If you already have the wheels I would go to a good local race shop where they have access to the car and the wheels to get the correct (read safe) hardware. Don't try to do that online or over the phone. They have to have the wheels and car there to determine what is going to work safely. If you haven't purchased the wheels yet, why not save yourself the hassle and buy something from an established retailer that is actually designed for your car? In the long run you will have less headaches. It may cost a little more than a smokin' deal on Ebay but nothing beats a correct fitment!
