wheels/seats for my first z

i finally got me a zee!! it's not pretty yet, but it's a driver. so, i have a couple of questions and i'm open to any opinions.

i'd like to go nice and fat in the tire/wheel area. the car currently has 17 inch wheels on it with a spacer but i don't know how wide they are, and i don't like the wheels anyways. i'm not afraid to zip out some steel so a set of flares will be coming soon. so, my first question is how wide of a wheel/tire combo can i go with zg flares installed?

second, the interior is trashed. the seats are ripped, and the foam is dead. can i install newer seats that are more comfortable from another import car as a straight bolt in or will there have to be some fabrication involved? anybody ever do a seat swap and have any recomendations?

i'm not too forum savvy, but i did find the search tool and that did help. any opinions or ideas or links to sites would be greatly appreciated.
