fitting GOLD WRX STI Rims on an 1st Gen I30

I've been presented with the delightful opportunity of picking a set for less than 400$ with tires.

Wheelspecs-
17x8 +53
tires are 225/45/17

question is what size spacer would I need to run this?

also, the centerbore seems to be small for the nissan hubcenter.
would the spacer take care of this? or do i have to get it drilled out to spec?

Wow thats a high offset. To pull it off and get closer to the fender, at least 15mm are in order.

That offset is extremely high. Gonna need to run huge spacers 20-25mm just to get them close to the fender. Now, as for the center bore of the rims, they'll have to be bore'd out for sure.
