you have a very easy chassis to make 5 lug. All you have to do is buy the hub assemblies from Nissan and slide them on. All it involves is removing the brakes, rotors, and sliding the hubs off. This is a GREAT time to do 300zx brakes also, b/c you have to take off the hub to remove the dust shield.

Going 5 lug gives you 5 times as many nice, quality wheels vs 4 lug and you should really consider doing that first.
I agree. If you don't want to do this though, Volk has some 17x8 and 17x9 wheels for 4x114.3 pcd. I believe Work and SSR have some too. However, they are not cheap. If you want cheap wheels in that size with proper offset, you'll most likely have to go 5 lug.

BTW, Why don't you go with 17x9 in front and back.

you can buy them from nissan.

you won't have to change your brakes, only your rotors out. the stock calipers and pads will work fine.
