Thats a big offset rim. The most I'd like to see is 30mm, but finding RWD offset rims is not the easist thing.
Standard AE86 is +26, or atleast my 15x6.5 +26 fit with slight strut rubbing of tyre wall upon tyre deflection.
Anyway, re your question:
Any import shop should set you straight. Just say you have S13, don't complicate things by saying AE86. Both S13 and AE86 have 114.3 PCD.
Price: unknown.
If you were in SA, JMS would be the go, but don't know interstate import shops.
15mm spacers that bolt to the hub would be more legal, but all spacers are illegal, just the good ones are hard to spot!

yeah l thought the offset may have been too large, l was just hoping really, they are my brothers rims off an N13, they look sweet as on my car but just dont fit, if l do get a large spacer l guess l'll run into problems with the length of the studs also and wont be able to tighten the buts up properly, l may just look for a set with smaller offset that fit the 86, what are the rims like intial D has? what are they called? and where do l buy some grey/black ones, 15's or 16's

I can't find a pic, but there are types of spacers that bolt ONTO the original studs, and have a set of studs embeded into itself which the wheel bolts to. There are the better type of spacers as you don't have longer studs that will bend under load.
I think 40mm is too large an offset. However, some investigation or a response from somebody who has tried will clear it up. Untill you know for sure, don't rely on my "I think.."
Try wrecker's for AE86 rims. I picked up my rims for $95 (all four). They were on a Sigma (of all cars) and are 2 piece MORE rims. For what fits: 15x7 +- 0mm is the starting point. Go from there.A friend has SSR 15x7 -2. FAT DISH, but don't expect to see many of these around.
Those 'initial D' rims are Watanabe rip offs. Don't expect a set unless you know somebody who knows SOMEBODY. They are ~$600 a piece ex japan new.
Search the old forums for 'watanabe' and see how many times ppl have tried to find a set. The same friend use to have Watanabe's: nice, but not worth the cost or initial D hype, personally.
Best of Luck,
Jaz
Oh, just re-read your post, isn't the N13 4x100 PCD?

We all start somewhere, but end up in the right place 
One of my best friends was always a Holden man, hell, he works there. He sold his Dunnydore: owns a Toyota. And I remind him
Yeah, AE86 are very good cars, and handle very well all stock and raw 4AC power. Word of advice: join or start an AE86 club. I know 20 SA AE86 people, get lots of parts and advice from people.
I own 3 AE86's, and have:
Vented front brakes
Roll Centre Adjusters
Coilovers (tokico dampers)
TRD yellow front dampers (one to be replaced)
TRD green rear adj damper
custom springs
RWD 4AG (and bellhousing, thanks Statts)
Lightened flywheel
Nardi Wheel
More rims
Trueno seats
hopefully extractors in the next week or so
and a shed with a disassembled 4AG. Such is AE86 life.
Hope to get adj front swaybar, adj strut tops and strut brace to finalise suspension.
Jaz
Oh, read the old forum. Lots of good advice and info just sitting there. Nothing worse than people asking the same old questions.
Also check http://www.club4ag.com if you have been living under a rock.

I have a set of 15x6.5 SSR mesh rims with a +3mm offset. If you are using 6.5" rims, aim for a 0 offset. This will fill the guards out nicely.
With this offset a 195/50 does not rub, but a 205/50 juuuuuust scrapes, both front and rear.
