5x100 is the correct bolt pattern. I'm not too sure on the proper offset though.

Believe all but 88 where 30mm offset. 88 where different front and back something like 30 and 35

The 88 fronts were 42mm
I believe the rear is 35.
You are right that the 84-87 front and rears are the same offset, but I could have sworn it to be 35mm.

does the offset matter?

Some. It keeps the center line of the wheel on the centerline of the bearings so they last longer. You can move off some but the farther you go the greater the load on the bearings. Handling would be affected some also.
