5.75 inch sound like an Akront wheel (5.75 x 18).
Your frame to swing arm pivot width is 235 mm (Z1, KZ900/1000).
The ZRX swingarm pivot to frame width is 245 mm, so you have to do some machinig/mods to fit/center the wheel and swingarm.

The smart money would be on a modification to the swingarm not the frame, if things need to be altered after the fact you only have one frame and the are multiple swingarms out there and yes, offsetting sprockets will need to be done.

You need a 10 mm offset front sprocket and a 10 mm spacer ring on the rear sprocket hub.

A Zephyr 750/1100 or ZRX 400 swingarm is a good starting point.
