if your using 4 bolts then you should use 4 bolts for any wheel...if they dont have them in the right offset with 4 bolts then there not gonna fit (i think im right neway :s)

Yes, the PCD needs to be the same as well as the number of bolts.

you want 4x100 and between et42 to et45 you can get away with et40 but will scrub with people in the car and hard cornering

ET is the offset. The lower the number the more the wheels will stick out and rub on arches.
PCD stands for (pitch circle diameter) and is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheel's bolt holes. It is measured in mm and also indicates the number of bolts the wheel needs. Thats what 4x100 is
