First off, I see this is your first post, so Welcome to CAC! 
You'll find that CAC is a wealth of knowledge and people who aren't shy about sharing it. Now, my understanding is the Z-cars/GS wheels will physically fit, but because the backspacing is different, and the wheels wider, they will stick out beyond the fenders. If you want to use true Z/GS wheels the widebody parts need to be fitted, or custom flares for the wheelwells need to be made...or I guess you could just let them stick out (not sure what that would look like, or if in your jurisdiction that is legal/allowed).
They do make repop wheels that look like the Z/GS that actually fit the narrowbody cars, but they are typically the same size as stock. If you are wanting wider wheels/tires that won't work for you. The other possibility is custom wheels, but I can't say, for sure, how much wheel width you can gain.
Somebody else might pop in here and have another suggestion for you too.
