teach me tires/rims 101!

hello everyone, a couple of days i posted on some brake upgrades and thanks to NismoPick i was able to do my Z32 brake upgrade =D.

So now, i want to ask out there:
1. can 17's fit snuggly in the Z31 without modification to the ball joints and suspension?

2. whats the widest rim i can put on the front and back.. i was looking to put 245/35-45's in the front and maybe 265 or 275 in the back.

I really dont know much on the Z's capabilities since i have my stock wheels on.

i found some really nice 7 Spoke 17's that i loved for the car, or if you all know a better rim look for the Z31, please give me your opinions, i love opinions =) and $ is no problem, so post any pics and websites =D.

Thank you Zdriver community!

RIMS is ghetto slang used by the lower class and high school dropouts. They're called WHEELS.
