315/35/17. If you get the Nitto555DR for example, they should fit up with no problems. If you go with a wider 315 like the GSD3's then you will need to do a little BFH for sure.

17x11 ZR1s, The SS wheels are only 17x9, and the Z06 wheels are only 17x9.5s. You need a 10.5"+ wheel.

Each car has its own character but like someone already said there should be no fitment issues with that combo. We have run Nitto 555Rs on both 17X11 ZR1s and 17X10.5 TTMs (on the SS) and no issues and we have not touched the car (with the BFH).

I have 17x11s on my Z28 running a 315/35 BFG T/A KD with no problems. The previous owner used the BFH a little but he had a bad back so it didn't do a lot of good. I have no problems at all.

No, you won't. Just learn to jack the back of the car up by the differential case and you'll be fine.
