While you will need a wider wheel, you will need a longer countershaft sprocket or an adapter to space it out. You will need to figure out how to stabilize the rear brake as well as the 170 tire and any wheel you could mount it on will hit the stock torsion bar.

I think that if you go with an LTD wheel, the widest tire will be in the 130 range. The LTD wheel is a 16"

try a wheel from a GPZ. that should let you go wider I believe as the rim is wider than the KZs. making a torsion bar isnt hard. copy the stock one with a bend in it to clear the tire. zx wheels let you go really wide btw;)

If you decide to change styles and go with spokes, here are a few good places to start.
