ok so my question is can i use a rear wheel on the front of the z? i know the rear wheel is 17x 8.0 vs the fronts 7.5. and the offset is also different. i have 3 rears and 1 front. i will try to match the "new front" tire to the same tire size on the real front wheel.
will this be fine? or will i have some issues?

Of course I'd never mix two different wheel widths on the same axle. Even with the same size tire, the tire profile will be different. Just like a tire would be when stretched on too wide of a rim versus a correctly sized rim. In the end, it would pull on the wide side.
Any chance of scrapping the whole idea and trying to find someone selling 4 correctly sized 18" stockies?
