1) I don't think they even come in 4 lug, but I could be wrong2) 17x9 +15 to +20 will be fine.

The best size in 4-lug they offer that you can fit with little fender mods (you will need to roll the fronts but that's no big deal) is the 17x8 +12 in front and 17x9 +27 in the rear. These would fit fine and look pretty good.

But to be honest, when you're gonna spend that much on some wheels, do the 5-lug conversion first so you can get better wheels and do it right.
