CA winter wheels [will it fit]

i am currently browsing through craigslist for 17" rims and i have a few that i am interested in but im not sure if they will fit on an 05" MT RX-8
im kinda a noob with wheels... so this is for all you wheel junkies
can anybody verify if these will fit?

[1] This is for a set of 4, 17" Nissan 350zx wheels 03 to 06 style. 2 of the wheels have Pirelli P7000 255/40/17ZR 94w tires still in good condition with 90% tread left.

[2] OZ RACING 17" WHEELS & TIRES SET ITALIAN BRAND
235/45ZR17 93W M+S
5 lugs, This came from Ford Thunderbird from my friend's car.
I am not sure what year (2000 - 2005?)
The size are all the same front & rear.
SUMITOMO HTR+ TIRES, but I guess those tires are almost done.

[3] I have a factory set of G35 wheels for sale. They're the 17" six spoke model. Three of them come with tires while the fourth has a flat.

can anybody verify if any of these will fit?

ok i went with the OZ Racing rims 17"
the original tires are 235/45ZR17

but im looking for a more aggressive looking tire [more meaty] that would work well with 17" and will not rub with stock ride height.

here are a couple pics...

Didn't know that it's cold enough in Cali to require winter tires. I wish I could run on summer tires year round. I have another 6-7 weeks to go before I have to slap on my winter wheels again.
