What are the offsets? You might not be able to fit either depending on the wheel offsets.
And you'll have a adapter that overlaps when going to a 5-lug pattern on 4x100.

As long as the offsets are good you'll be able to run the TE37's with adapters.

If you're going to go with adapters, try to find a set of 17s in 17x7.5 +48 or +50 which is mostly available in 5x100

You'll fit a-ok with a 7.5" wide wheel at 40mm offset.
The wheel will push out 14mm more, compared to the OEM 7" wide @ 48mm offset.

17x7.5 4x100 +40 will work fine. Had a set of TE37s & SE37Ks before in that spec
Regarding the decals on the spokes, you can buy them separately from Rays

I will look into stickers when I get the wheels. I need to repair that small spot on one the wheels rims, figure I'll get some bronze anadise look paint and try that..
Now I'm gonna shop for tires , want the widest Star Specs.

Plan on lowering the car? If so, those 225/45 are going to rub like crazy.
They have a taller sidewall than the standard OEM 205/45's.
If not super low, have you considered a 235/40?
